Hawzah News Agency- The results paint an unambiguous picture, such that Arab public opinion on Palestine, "Israel'', and the United States has crystallized into positions that normalization agreements and diplomatic overtures have done little to shift.
The 2025 Arab Opinion Index delivers a clear verdict: the Arab public's stance on Palestine has hardened, not softened, despite normalization agreements and the passage of time.
Opposition to recognizing "Israel" stands near its all-time high, with political rather than religious reasoning driving the consensus.
The war on Gaza has deepened an already entrenched distrust of the United States, and that distrust is now bleeding into perceptions of American society, culture, and competence, areas where Washington once enjoyed residual goodwill.
For policymakers in Washington and Arab capitals pursuing normalization, the message is clear that diplomatic arrangements that bypass public opinion may produce signed agreements, but they do not produce legitimacy.
