Public opinion polls conducted by Professor Sivan Hirsch-Hoefler and Professor Gilad Hirschberger (members of the management team of the 'Tamrur' research group), throughout the years 2018-2024, reflect a complex reality in which the Israeli-Jewish public is divided on the question of the future of the territories and the diplomatic solution with the Palestinians.
Survey data from December 2024 shows that about half of the public (50%) supports separation from the Palestinians - either through a bilateral agreement - the two-state solution (25%) or through unilateral separation (25%). The other half of the public prefers continuing Israeli control - either through formal annexation or through maintaining the status quo (which effectively means creeping annexation).
Over the years, two significant trends can be identified: The first is a decline in support for the two-state solution, from 47% in November 2018 to 25% at the end of 2024. The second trend is a significant increase in support for maintaining the status quo, from 9% to about 22% - a 2.5-fold increase. Along with an increase in support for annexation. These changes reflect a deep process of change in public attitudes, which began even before the events of October 2023.
