TL;DR Summary

Support for Hamas as a political party has dropped to 34% among Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank, while satisfaction with its war performance remains high at 70%. The war has led to significant shifts in Palestinian views on armed struggle and diplomatic solutions, with support for a two-state solution jumping by 27 points to 62%. Despite the war's brutality, face-to-face polling in Gaza revealed the diverging opinions on Hamas as a governing body and as a symbol of Palestinian resistance against Israeli occupation. Satisfaction with the United States' handling of the war is nearly nonexistent at 1%, while Yemen garnered the highest approval ratings due to the Houthis' actions in solidarity with the Palestinian cause.
