Most Israelis not bothered by reports of suffering and famine in Gaza, new poll shows

A new poll from the Israel Democracy Institute shows that a vast majority of Jewish Israelis are not troubled by reports of suffering and famine in Gaza. The survey found that 79 percent of Jewish respondents were untroubled, in stark contrast to 86 percent of Palestinian citizens of Israel who expressed concern. These attitudes correlate with trust in official reports, as 70 percent of Jewish Israelis believe the Israeli army's casualty figures, while most Palestinian citizens do not. The findings are set against a backdrop of warnings from a UN-backed hunger monitoring system about a potential famine unfolding in the besieged territory.
