Shifting Arab Perspectives: The Impact of the Israel-Hamas Conflict in Gaza

The recent Israel-Hamas war in Gaza has had a significant impact on Arab views, particularly in Tunisia, according to a survey conducted by Arab Barometer. The survey revealed that favorability ratings towards countries with positive or warming relations with Israel, including the United States and Middle Eastern allies, declined among Tunisians. Conversely, support for Iran's leadership increased. The war also led to a decline in support for the United States and a shift towards armed resistance as a preferred solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. These changes in public opinion could have far-reaching implications for regional politics and global alliances. To stabilize the region, Israel and its allies must find a way to end the war and work towards a peaceful resolution of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
