Survey finds most Canadians support both Israel's existence and a future Palestinian state

More than eight months into a war between Israel and Hamas that has claimed the lives of nearly 40,000 people, most Canadians say they support both Israel’s existence and a future Palestinian state, according to a new survey.Nisreen Ramadan Abu Kashif, 48, tries to find food with four of her nine children in Khan Younis, southern Gaza, on June 17, 2024.

The survey was conducted online between May 16 and May 28 and surveyed 1,872 adult Canadians for a margin of error of plus or minus 2.3 percentage points. The survey comes as pro-Palestinian protest camps remain in place on various university campuses. The University of Toronto and McGill University have both sought injunctions to clear the camps. A judge rejected McGill's request last month, while the U of T's application is still before a court.

People attend a rally outside Convocation Hall on the University of Toronto campus on Monday, May 27, 2024 as members of the Ontario Federation of Labour support the pro-Palestinian encampment at the university.
