As the Israeli government intensifies its military campaign in the Gaza Strip, domestic criticism is mounting, with tens of thousands protesting the ongoing war. Families of hostages held by Hamas fear that further military action will endanger their loved ones and are calling for negotiations to secure their release. Recent surveys indicate a significant shift in Israeli public opinion, with a growing majority supporting a deal to free hostages and end the fighting. However, sympathy for Palestinian suffering remains low among Jewish Israelis, and mainstream attitudes toward Palestinians have hardened, with many supporting extreme measures. The prospect of peaceful coexistence between Israelis and Palestinians is at its lowest in years, reflecting deepening divisions and anxieties within Israeli society.
