Dear Colleagues,
I am pleased to present to you the detailed findings of Public Opinion Poll No. 215, conducted by the Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO). This survey provides insights into Palestinian perspectives following the Gaza war and reflects the current public mood, priorities, and expectations.

Key Insights from the Survey:
• No Clear Winner: 71.1% of Palestinians perceive that neither side emerged victorious, with both suffering significant human and material losses.
• Cautious Realism: The public favors stability and dialogue over escalation, demonstrating a pragmatic approach to post-war recovery.
• International Roles: Opinions on the U.S. are mixed, while there is a broad consensus (83.5%) regarding Egypt’s effective mediation efforts.
• Outlook: 40.9% of respondents anticipate a gradual improvement in Gaza, whereas 38.9% foresee continued challenges in the near term.

In addition to sharing these findings, PCPO welcomes opportunities for cooperation with institutions, universities, and research centers interested in conducting quantitative or qualitative studies in the Palestinian Territories or other regions. With over 31 years of professional experience, our center possesses the methodological expertise and operational capacity to implement research projects efficiently, credibly, and at the highest professional standards.

Dear Sir/Madam,

The Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO) is pleased to share the results of Poll 213, entitled:

“The Mutual Repercussions of Halting the Israeli Banking Exemption on the Palestinian and Israeli Economies: A Field and Analytical Study (June – July 2025).”

This study presents Palestinian public opinion on one of the most pressing financial and political issues of recent years. By combining field survey data with analytical insights, it shows how Israel’s decision to end the banking exemption is widely viewed not as a technical adjustment, but as a political tool with far-reaching consequences for both the Palestinian and Israeli economies.

The findings highlight deep public concern regarding delayed salary payments, shortages of food and medicine, and broader threats to financial stability. At the same time, the study underlines the close interdependence between the two economies and the risks of escalating instability.

We believe this report offers timely insights for policymakers, researchers, media professionals, and the wider public.
