New survey reveals that over 70% of Palestinians reject Hamas disarming before Israel fully withdraws from Gaza, according to the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. The poll suggests that 72% of respondents fear Israel would resume its campaign of violence and refuse to withdraw completely if Hamas surrendered its weapons.
The Palestinian Center published the findings on Wednesday, providing insights into Palestinian perspectives on Gaza's future, their political leadership, and the possibility of establishing a Palestinian state. Even after Hamas accepted a disarmament proposal from Nickolay Mladenov, head of the US-backed Board of Peace, 40% of respondents anticipate that the ongoing situation will persist, with continued killings. Israel has rejected the US proposal.
