🌍 A fresh global poll by CGTN asked 9,093 people across continents what they think about Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plan to “advance the comprehensive occupation of Gaza.” The results are crystal clear: 86.6% firmly oppose the move and demand an immediate ceasefire.
📊 With the Israeli military now controlling about 75% of the Gaza Strip, more than 60,000 Palestinians have lost their lives and over 150,000 have been injured. A whopping 89.1% of survey participants worry the plan will deepen the humanitarian crisis, while 89.8% believe the conflict will keep escalating if nothing changes.
🔥 Even inside Israel, critics are speaking out. Opposition leaders, the IDF Chief of Staff, and ex-heads of the country’s intelligence agencies have all voiced their disapproval. Meanwhile, 86.8% of those polled think Israel is using the Gaza strategy to distract from its own domestic challenges.
🤝 The United States wasn’t spared either. About 92.5% of respondents criticized the U.S. for acting as an “accomplice,” pointing to its control over aid distribution and repeated vetoes of ceasefire resolutions at the UN Security Council.
🌐 On the diplomatic front, G7 members like the UK, France, and Canada plan to recognize the State of Palestine—leaving the U.S. as the only permanent UN Security Council member withholding recognition. Survey takers say the key to a lasting peace lies in a two-state solution (80.8%) and ramping up humanitarian aid (90.5%). And 90.3% call for stronger international diplomacy to halt the war and protect civilians.
✌️ For young professionals, students, and diaspora communities, this poll underscores the power of global voices demanding change. As Latin American youth tuned in, the message was loud and clear: it’s time to push for peace, justice, and relief for Gaza. #StayInformed
