Some key takeaways include:
- As the Biden administration is touting the prospect of a two-state
solution after the Gaza war, few scholars (7%) believe that it is
possible and probable in the next 10 years.
- Most scholars surveyed believe that the war is likely to result in
new large-scale displacement of Palestinians out of the West Bank and/or
Gaza.
- About a third of the scholars described Israeli actions in Gaza to
constitute genocide with another 41% saying it is 'major war crimes akin
to genocide'.
- Respondents see dark Israeli motives in Gaza, with a majority
saying Israel aims to make Gaza uninhabitable in order to force
Palestinians out of the territory.
- Respondents hold very critical views of the Biden administration's
handling of the war, with over three-quarters saying it would have
negative implications for US interests in the Middle East, US standing
in the world, and advancing peace in Israel/Palestine.
