Majority of Israelis Mistrust Gaza Resettlement Plans

The annexation, ethnic cleansing, and establishment of Jewish settlements in Gaza are among Israel's war aims

A new poll from the Israel Democracy Institute found that just a fifth of Israelis, 19 percent, believe that Israel should establish Jewish settlements in a conquered Gaza Strip when the current war ends, Haaretz reported on 22 April.

The number increased to 22.5 percent for Jewish Israelis, which the institute notes has declined by 3 percent since December 2023. Support for the building of settlements in Gaza was highest among Israel's Haredi Jews (ultra-Orthodox) at 52 percent.

For religious Zionists, 39 percent said they support resettlement; for self-identified traditional Jews, 28 percent claimed to support it; and for secular Jews, seven percent said they support it.

Shortly after Israel's war on Gaza began in October, indications emerged suggesting the ethnic cleansing and annexation of Gaza and the rebuilding of the Gush Katif settlement bloc was a major war aim of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's cabinet.

When asked what should be done now that most of Israel's forces have left Gaza, 33 percent of Israelis said control of the besieged enclave should be transferred to an international force, 24 percent said that a small number of Israeli troops should continue to occupy Gaza to maintain military control, and 13 percent said that it should be handed over to the Palestinian Authority (PA).

Prime Minister Netanyahu has rejected both the PA and an international force controlling Gaza following the war.

...The institute also examined the claim that Israelis are not aware of the massive destruction in Gaza caused by Israel's unrelenting bombing campaign, which has entered its seventh month and killed over 34,000 people. The poll found that 87 percent of Jewish Israelis and 68 percent of Arab Israelis said that they had seen a few or many images or videos of the destruction.

“In other words,” the poll authors said, “the claim regarding the lack of exposure in the Israeli public would seem to be ungrounded.”
