…wow. I never thought the Israeli claims that Gaza would go right back to terrorism if given the chance held water, yet there it is.
Is this a reliable pollster?
and i think numbers that you quote are also indicative of Israeli claim that recognizing Palestinian state will reaffirm that approach that hamas took is correct in eyes of palestinians
The only reason this is relevant, beyond baseless moral outrage, is from a threat of terrorist contagion. Given the cost of the Gaza war to Palestinians, I’m not seeing too many other groups being that stupid.
What matters is what happens in the future. If an independent Gaza just reärms and attacks Israel again, that’s not a good way to organise that area. I’m still unconvinced there isn’t a polling error in this measure, because more than half of Gaza’s essentially endorsing what has happened to them seems a little bit off to me.
Are you referencing an authority? Another poll?
it's not a poll. it's more like a window into local mentality that may help you to understand the numbers
(Also, I don't assume that even if no one has fear the support will not drop to zero. In all conflicts many people always support the local team, even when the local team do nasty things.)

Palestinian opinion is polarized: the Trump Plan is widely known but support is split, with Gazans more favorable than West Bankers. Majorities back Hamas’s response yet reject disarming Hamas; most doubt the plan will end the war or deliver statehood. A leadership crisis endures—dissatisfaction with Abbas and the PA, Marwan Barghouti leading, and Hamas outpolling Fatah. Since Oct 7, support for the attack persists even as expectations of Hamas victory wane. Gazans are more open to negotiated arrangements;` West Bankers favor armed struggle. Across both, skepticism of external plans coexists with demands for elections and self-defense.
