On the eve of October the 7th, the Palestinian perception of PA governance was
grim: trust in the PA leadership, PA public institutions, civil society organizations,
and Hamas was low and declining; perception of corruption in PA institutions was
overwhelming; and the public assessed the performance of the government in
providing security, keeping the prices down, and narrowing the gap between rich
and poor as bad or very bad; but satisfaction with service delivery was mixed
These are the results of the latest wave of the Arab Barometer (AB) poll in
Palestine, the 8th to be conducted since the start of these polls in the Arab World.
This report is restricted to findings related to Palestinian perception of
governance. The poll was conducted by the Palestinian Center for Policy and
Survey Research (PSR) in the West Bank and the Gaza Strip essentially during the
period immediately before the start of the October the 7th war in the Gaza Strip
and its envelop on the Israeli side.
