Palestinian State Recognition Backed by Nearly 6 in 10 Americans: Poll
Based on facts, either observed and verified firsthand by the reporter, or reported and verified from knowledgeable sources. Newsweek AI is in beta. Translations may contain inaccuracies—please refer to the original content. Nearly six in 10 Americans believe members of the United Nations should recognize a Palestinian state, according to a new poll. Newsweek reached out to the State Department for comment via email on Wednesday. Why It Matters The poll comes amid ongoing concerns about the humanitarian conditions in Gaza. On October 7, 2023, Hamas led an attack against Israel, killing 1,200 and abducting 251 people. Israel has said 58 hostages remain in Gaza, and that only about 20 are believed to be alive. Israel has since launched a massive counteroffensive in Gaza, killing more than 62,000 people, according to the Associated Press, citing Gaza's Health Ministry. Critics have sounded the alarm on Israel's military operation, with worries over the number of civilians killed or displaced. In recent weeks, more countries have moved to recognize a Palestinian state amid fears of the potential starvation of civilians in Gaza, an accusation denied by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. What To Know A majority of Americans—58 percent—believe every country should recognize Palestinian territory as an independent nation, according to a poll from Reuters and Ipsos released on Wednesday. Only 33 percent said they do not believe U.N. members should recognize a Palestinian state, while 9 percent did not answer the question, found the poll, which surveyed 4,446 adults across the U.S. and had a margin of error of plus or minus 2 percentage points.

OMAR AL-QATTAA/AFP via Getty Images Australian Prime Minister Anthony Albanese announced earlier in August that Australia would recognize the Palestinian state as a nation in September. "Australia will recognize the right of the Palestinian people to a state of their own, predicated on the commitments Australia has received from the Palestinian Authority," he said in a video posted to X. France in July also said it would recognize a Palestinian nation. The United Kingdom said the same, if conditions are not met by Israel. But it has been U.S. policy across Democratic and Republican administrations to not recognize a Palestinian state. The administration of President Donald Trump has not signaled any shift from the status quo on the matter. Polling over recent months has shown a decline in American compassion for Israel. A Quinnipiac University poll released in June found that sympathies for Israel dipped to a record low, with only 37 percent of Americans saying they feel more sympathetic toward Israel. What People Are Saying U.K. Prime Minister Keir Starmer, in July: "I have always said that we will recognize a Palestinian state as a contribution to a proper peace process at the moment of maximum impact for the two-state solution. I can confirm the U.K. will recognize the State of Palestine by the United Nations General Assembly in September, unless the Israeli government takes substantive steps to end the appalling situation in Gaza, agree to a ceasefire and commit to a long-term sustainable peace reviving the prospect of a two-state solution." U.S. Secretary of State Marco Rubio, after France announced it would recognize a Palestinian state: "This reckless decision only serves Hamas propaganda and sets back peace. It is a slap in the face to the victims of October 7th." Netanyahu, on X July 24: "A Palestinian state in these conditions would be a launch pad to annihilate Israel—not to live in peace beside it. Let's be clear: the Palestinians do not seek a state alongside Israel; they seek a state instead of Israel." What Happens Next Starmer will wait until September to render a formal decision on recognizing a Palestinian state. Israel continues facing international pressure over its military operations in Gaza, while Hamas has been pressed to return the remaining hostages. There have been recent attempts at peace talks to achieve a lasting ceasefire, but they have stalled.
