A survey of university students in the United States found that favorable views of the Palestinian people were more widespread than favorable views of the Israeli people, and that a majority of participants supported Palestinians’ right to establish a state.

Attacks continue in Gaza and the West Bank
According to figures from the Gaza Health Ministry, 1,313 Palestinians have been killed and 4,361 injured in Israeli violations of the ceasefire since the truce took effect on October 10, 2025.
More than 73,000 Palestinians have been killed and more than 174,000 injured in Israel’s attacks on the Gaza Strip, launched with US support on October 8, 2023. Children and women make up the majority of those killed and injured.
