A majority of Israelis are in favor of completing the hostage deal, and express low levels of confidence in the senior Shin Bet (Israel Security Agency) echelon.

The poll reflected a shift toward deepening skepticism, with 44% left-wing voters, saying a peace deal was unlikely.

A survey by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) has found that a majority of the Israeli public, both Jews and Arabs, supports fully completing the hostage deal and postponing a decision on the future of Hamas rule in Gaza.

Approximately seven out of ten Israelis support the idea that “Arabs from Gaza should relocate to another country.” Most Jewish Israelis believe this is a “practical plan that should be pursued.” Most Arab Israelis oppose Trump’s proposal.

The report has four main parts: a possible hostage deal, confidence in the incoming US president, confidence in Israel’s leadership and victory, and questions about values and the judicial system.

55% of Israelis support a hostage deal, but a significant majority of the Jewish public opposes a partial deal and is even more opposed to allowing Hamas to remain in power in Gaza.
