According to the poll, “the satisfaction with Hamas and Yahya Sinwar (remains) very high. By contrast, satisfaction with Fatah and President Abbas remains very low.”
A recent poll, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in the West Bank and Gaza, revealed that support for the Palestinian Resistance Movement Hamas is still strong, while a staggering 84 percent want Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas to resign.
“Support for Hamas’ offensive on October the 7th remains as high as it was three months ago,” the Center noted, adding that “90% believe that Hamas did not commit any atrocities against Israel civilians during its October the 7th offensive.”

The Gaza Genocide
Currently on trial before the International Court of Justice for genocide against Palestinians, Israel has been waging a devastating war on Gaza since October 7.
According to Gaza’s Ministry of Health, 31,988 Palestinians have been killed, and 74,188 wounded in Israel’s ongoing genocide in Gaza starting on October 7.
Moreover, at least 7,000 people are unaccounted for, presumed dead under the rubble of their homes throughout the Strip.

Palestinian and international organizations say that the majority of those killed and wounded are women and children.
The Israeli aggression has also resulted in the forceful displacement of nearly two million people from all over the Gaza Strip, with the vast majority of the displaced forced into the densely crowded southern city of Rafah near the border with Egypt – in what has become Palestine’s largest mass exodus since the 1948 Nakba.
Israel says that 1,200 soldiers and civilians were killed during the Al-Aqsa Flood Operation on October 7. Israeli media published reports suggesting that many Israelis were killed on that day by ‘friendly fire.’
