WASHINGTON
— An opinion poll conducted by
The Washington Institute with a nationally
representative sample of 1,000
Saudi citizens found that 91 percent of Saudis agree with the statement that
“Despite the destruction and loss of life, this
war in Gaza is a win for
Palestinians, Arabs, and Muslims.”

As for the role of the broader Arab world,
almost all (96 percent) agree with the proposal that “Arab countries should
immediately break all diplomatic, political, economic, and any other contacts
with Israel, in protest against its
military action in Gaza, Khaberni reported.
While
Hamas as a movement remains unpopular among the majority of Saudis—in contrast
to a new trend of widespread popular support in countries like Lebanon, Jordan,
and Egypt—just 16 percent of Saudis say that “
Hamas should stop calling for the
destruction of Israel, and instead accept a permanent two-state solution to the
conflict based on the 1967 borders.”
However,
95 percent responded that
Al-Qassam Brigades, the military wing of Hamas, was
not sought out to kill Israeli civilians on Oct. 7.
