Poll No. 218
- Published Date
The Palestinian Center for Public Opinion (PCPO) is pleased to share with you the results of Public Opinion Poll No. (218), which addresses the congestion crisis at King Hussein Bridge (Al-Karama Crossing / Allenby Bridge)—one of the issues with the most direct impact on Palestinians’ freedom of movement and human dignity.
This poll was conducted between 10–17 January 2026 on a random sample of 350 citizens from various governorates of the West Bank, with the aim of measuring Palestinian public attitudes toward the causes of the crisis and its humanitarian and economic consequences, evaluating the performance of the crossing and the level of services provided, and exploring public views on proposed solutions and alternatives.
The findings show that the crossing crisis cannot be understood as a purely operational or administrative matter. Rather, it is deeply connected to a broader political and security context and has a direct, everyday impact on people’s lives and travel experiences. This reality calls for a comprehensive approach that safeguards freedom of movement, fairness, and the dignity of Palestinian travelers.
In closing, we invite you to review Public Opinion Poll No. (218) in full, including its detailed data and in-depth analysis of the Karama Crossing crisis and its implications, by visiting our website: www.pcpo.org. We hope these findings will contribute to informed public dialogue and support policies grounded in the voices and lived experiences of citizens.
