The war in Iran was timely and topical for the public in all three places, and we wanted to better understand their opinions on the war and its long-term consequences.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/about\/\">Learn more about Pew Research Center<\/a> and our <a href=\"https:\/\/beta.pewresearch.org\/pewresearch-org\/international-surveys\/\">international surveys<\/a>.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<h4 id=\"how-did-we-do-this\" class=\"wp-block-heading\">How did we do this?<\/h4>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">For this report, we surveyed 1,001 people in Israel and 1,038 people in the West Bank and East Jerusalem. Interviews were conducted from March 30 to May 6, 2026.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">The report also uses data from three surveys conducted in the United States. The first polled 3,524 U.S. adults from March 16 to 22, 2026. The second polled 3,507 U.S. adults from March 23 to 29. The third was of 5,103 U.S. adults from April 20 to 26.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">We designed the surveys so we could talk about the views of the adult population in each country.
