Differing views on U.S. aid to both sides

A representative Pew survey of 1,001 Israelis and 1,038 Palestinians (West Bank and East Jerusalem) taken March–May 2026 finds sizable splits over whether the U.S. gives too much, too little or about the right amount of military aid to Israel and humanitarian aid to Gaza, with large intra‑societal differences (e.g., Jews vs. Arab Israelis) and responses shaped by the contemporaneous Iran war. The survey also records open‑ended reasons respondents think peaceful coexistence is or isn’t possible, offering qualitative texture to the numbers. — These measurements shape U.S. policy debates by showing domestic and regional political constraints on aid, how different communities perceive U.S. legitimacy, and the local political salience of humanitarian versus military support during conflict.
