Poll finds 69 percent of British public want end to war in Gaza

More than two-thirds of British people want a ceasefire in Gaza, according to a survey by the pollster YouGov earlier this week.

Researchers found 69 percent of respondents wanted a ceasefire and an end to Israel’s military campaign, while just 13 percent wanted it to continue.

The figures represent a 10 percent increase in those wanting an end to the conflict compared to November, 2023 - a month after the war started. Meanwhile, support for the war has come down from 20 percent during the same period.

British people were also significantly more likely to sympathise with the Palestinian side compared to the Israelis.
