According to a recent poll by the “Arab World for Research and Development”, Palestinian society appears less divided on the matter compared to the rest of the world.

Breaking down the data, 63.6% of Palestinians in the Gaza Strip supported the attack to some extent, with 14.4% expressing neither support nor opposition.
In Judea and Samaria the support [for the attack] was higher at 75.2%.

Only a small percentage attributed the attack to stopping the peace process or stopping [“]settlement[”].
Finally, in defining the conflict, only 18.6% of respondents viewed it as a war between Israel and the Hamas terrorist organization.
The majority 63.6% perceived it as a war between Israel and Palestinians in general,
while 9.4% considered it a war between the western world and the Arab world.’ [...]“
