A Palestinian survey center found that a majority of Palestinians have lost confidence in both Hamas and Fatah, according to Al-Monitor. The erosion of trust coincides with halted efforts to implement the Gaza peace plan and a surge in settler attacks across the West Bank.
The poll captured sentiment among Palestinians as diplomatic initiatives remain stalled and security deteriorates. Hamas and Fatah, the two dominant Palestinian political factions, have faced mounting criticism over their inability to advance reconciliation or deliver tangible improvements in living conditions and personal safety for Palestinians in Gaza and the occupied territories.
