Nearly one year after the Oct. 7 Hamas attacks on Israel, hopes for permanent peace and support for a two-state solution remain equally low in Israel, the West Bank and East Jerusalem.

Gallup's latest update on global safety shows people worldwide feel safer today than they did a decade ago, but many countries have a long way to go.

More Americans continue to disapprove than approve of Israel's military action in Gaza. Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is viewed unfavorably on balance.

A majority of U.S. adults now disapprove of Israel's military action in Gaza, a shift from the prior survey in November.

Equal percentages of Americans -- roughly four in 10 -- say the U.S. is doing "about the right amount" or "not enough" to end the Israel-Hamas conflict.
