Bad news! What a piece of disinformation!
According to the organizers of this survey the cowardly mass massacre by Hamas killers was just a "military operation". Sounds like Putin the Terrible! Very disturbing!
"Arab Center Washington DC (ACW), in cooperation with The Arab Center for Research and Policy Studies (ACRPS), conducted a survey of public opinion in 16 Arab countries". This center is financed by Qatar: "Affiliation

What seems to be very disturbing about this survey that the cowardly mass massacre committed by Hamas killers on October 7 is treated as simply an attack or "military operation"! The survey apparently never asked about the horrific crime committed by Hamas!
"... The comprehensive poll, which gauged sentiments across 16 Arab countries, underscores a growing resistance against normalization with Israel in the wake of the Israeli war on Gaza. ...
The survey detailed notable country-specific shifts in public opinion, highlighting a dramatic change in perspective among nations that have historically taken steps toward normalizing relations with Israel. In Saudi Arabia, opposition surged from 38% in 2022 to a remarkable 68% in the latest poll.

Despite governmental moves towards diplomacy, there appears to be a near-consensus among the populations of these nations against the recognition of Israel, underscoring a significant disconnect between official policy and public sentiment. ..."

The survey is based on telephone interviews conducted between December 12, 2023, and January 5, 2024, with a representative sample of 8,000 individual respondents in the following 16 Arab countries: Algeria, Egypt, Iraq, Jordan, Kuwait, Lebanon, Libya, Mauritania, Morocco, Oman, Qatar, Saudi Arabia, Sudan, Tunisia, the West Bank in Palestine, and Yemen. These countries represent more than 95% of the population across the Arab region. ...
The survey included a set of questions ... First, looking at the Hamas attack on October 7, 2023, the respondents were asked about the most and second most important reasons motivating Hamas. The results demonstrated a diverse range of reasons behind the operation. While 35% of respondents stated that the most important reason was the continued Israeli occupation of the Palestinian territories, 24% stated that it was Israel’s targeting of Al-Aqsa Mosque, 8% said it was the ongoing siege on the Gaza Strip, and 6% attributed it to the continuation of Israeli settlements in the Palestinian territories. ..."
