Peace Still a Distant Prospect for Israelis, Palestinians
Benedict Vigers, Gallup
In Gallup surveys conducted in June through August 2025, 21% of adults in Israel said they believe permanent peace between Israel and the State of Palestine would ever be achieved, nearly identical to the 23% of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem expressing the same view. In both populations, roughly three times as many (63% in Israel, 65% in the West Bank and East Jerusalem) say permanent peace will never come to pass.
