Recent polls reveal a strong majority of Israelis favor the emigration of Gaza's population, a proposal championed by President Trump. This stance coincides with Netanyahu's visit to Washington and reflects a growing rejection of the two-state solution, particularly after the Hamas attacks. Trump's approach contrasts sharply with Biden's policies, which heavily emphasized Palestinian statehood.
Fresh surveys released ahead of Israel i Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit as the first foreign leader to meet President Donald Trump at the White House show that an overwhelming majority of Israel is support the emigration of Gaza ’s population — an idea recently suggested on several occasions by President Trump — while most also oppose a Palestinian state, a failed policy long pushed by former Presidents Joe Biden and Barack Obama.
Two new polls reveal that President Trump’s suggestion of Gazan emigration enjoys overwhelming Israeli support, with 80% backing the plan. On Monday by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) Israel Index survey found that approximately eight out of ten Israeli Jews support Trump’s suggestion that “Arabs from Gaza should relocate to another country.” 80% of the Israeli public support Trump’s recent proposal for Arab nations, particularly Egypt and Jordan, to take in more Gazans, while only 10% opposed it and 10% had no opinion. More than half of respondents oppose any peace deal with Saudi Arabia that includes a Palestinian state, a key demand from Biden-era foreign policy advisors. In addition, the poll showed 71% of Israelis reject the establishment of a Palestinian state, a stance that has only hardened in the wake of the October 7 Hamas massacre. The findings coincide with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s arrival in Washington, DC, on Sunday for a key diplomatic meeting with President Trump on Tuesday. Meanwhile, Donald Trump, who has previously brokered historic agreements in the region, continues to reverse the policies of Presidents Biden and Obama, both of whom pushed aggressively for a two-state solution at Israel’s expense and funneled billions into Palestinian aid, only for Hamas to stockpile weapons and launch deadly attacks. The two-state solution, largely seen as a staple of foreign policy by U.S. administrations prior to President Trump, has been criticized as a colossal failure that does not take into account facts on the ground. Amid pressure from Palestinian-American groups, Muslim advocates, and some Democrats, Biden repeatedly doubled down on a two-state solution after the October 7 massacre — despite the lack of a peace partner — drawing sharp Republican criticism. “A two-state solution is the only way to guarantee the long-term security of both the Israeli and the Palestinian people,” the former president wrote in November. “To make sure Israelis and Palestinians alike can live in equal measures of freedom and dignity.” A Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria (the West Bank), Gaza Strip, and parts of eastern Jerusalem in exchange for peace with Israel, has repeatedly failed. Biden’s push for this approach, relying on Palestinian Authority (PA) President Mahmoud Abbas and his ruling Fatah party as partners, faces significant criticism. Despite being labeled “moderate,” the PA and its ruling Fatah faction continue to support terrorism, incite violence, and reject peace. Abbas, in power for nearly two decades despite a four-year term limit, oversees a regime that fosters more violence. Decades of Israeli peace offers have been met with terror, proving the PA is not a viable peace partner but an enabler of continued conflict. 75% of Palestinians support Hamas and its October 7 massacre, nearly three-quarters favor eliminating Israel for a Palestinian state “from the river to the sea,” and overwhelming majorities back terrorist groups, with 89% supporting Hamas’ al-Qassam Brigades, 84% backing Palestinian Islamic Jihad, and 80% endorsing the al-Aqsa Martyrs’ Brigades. Following Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza — meant to give Palestinians a chance at self-rule yet leading to Hamas’ takeover and years of terror — Israelis have increasingly rejected a two-state solution, a stance that has only hardened after October 7. Biden’s push to restore PA control in Gaza would create another terror state, while Ambassador-designate Mike Huckabee previously stated “the two-state solution is no solution at all” and that “if there is going to be a Palestinian state, it’s going to have to be somewhere outside the borders of Israel.” Despite Hamas’ unprecedented massacre and overwhelming Israeli opposition, the Biden administration remained committed to a two-state solution, having reversed Trump’s policies, restored nearly $1 billion in Palestinian aid, and insisted Israel must pursue Palestinian statehood after the war. In contrast, during his first presidency, Trump rejected forcing a two-state solution, cut aid to the Palestinians over their terror funding, and called for recognizing Jordan as a Palestinian state, with growing support from those who see it as the only viable path to peace. For the nearly 2.2 million residents of Gaza, the plan to relocate Gazans could represent an escape from poverty, violence, and blockades
