Slightly more than half of the people responding to the Leger poll said lasting peace isn't possible, while less than one-fifth said a peaceful solution can be reached.
Pollsters began gathering responses almost a week after hundreds of Hamas militants launched a multi-pronged attack, with rocket fire and a rampage across the border from Gaza that killed more than 1,400 Israelis and saw some 200 others, including children, taken hostage. The Israeli military is expected to soon conduct a ground assault in the territory, with United States President Joe Biden scheduled to visit Israel on Wednesday.
Conflict between Israel and Palestinians has lasted decades and contributed to significant instability across the Middle East. Prime Minister Justin Trudeau and the Canadian government have condemned the Hamas actions as"a terrorist attack" and back Israel's right to defend itself, but Ottawa has also been clear in recent days that it expects international law to be respected in Gaza.
The Leger poll found 40 per cent of people said they believed Canada's support to Israel is"about right", while 10 per cent said Canada isn't supportive enough to Israel, and 16 per cent said it is too supportive. More than a third, or 34 per cent, said they had no opinion on.
