Gazan support for Hamas declines as majority say Oct. 7 attack was wrong

A majority of Gazans now view Hamas’s Oct. 7 terrorist attack that instigated the war as wrong, according to a new poll released last week.

Fifty-nine percent of the 410 Gazans surveyed by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research said the attack was wrong, while 39% said it was the right move. The poll represents a continued decrease in support among Palestinians living in Gaza over time, and this was the first time a majority of respondents from the enclave said it was the wrong decision.
