According to a survey conducted this month, almost half of all Gazans are willing to emigrate, and nearly the same number approved of the anti-Hamas protests.

The survey, carried out by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, interviewed Palestinians in Judea and Samaria and Gaza between May 1 and May 4, six weeks after the IDF resumed its operations in Gaza following the collapse of the ceasefire.

The polling shows that 49% of Gazans wish to emigrate and are willing to apply to Israel for assistance, while 50% responded that they would be unwilling to do so.
