LONDON — A sweeping new public opinion survey has revealed that nearly four in five British citizens now view the Zionist regime as a serious threat to global peace. The sharp increase in public condemnation reflects widespread outrage over the entity’s ongoing genocidal war on the besieged Gaza Strip and its aggressive military campaigns across West Asia.
According to the British Social Attitudes survey conducted by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen) this spring, 78 percent of respondents identified the Zionist regime as a global threat. This marks a staggering surge from just 48 percent in 2005. The figure also climbed steadily from 73 percent recorded in the autumn of 2024, as the Israeli genocide against Palestinians entered its second year.
Public disillusionment with the occupying entity has intensified as the humanitarian catastrophe in Gaza deepens and its war of aggression expands to target the Islamic Republic of Iran and the broader Axis of Resistance. Reinforcing this shift, a separate YouGov poll released in July found that a mere 17 percent of Britons believe the Zionist regime is not committing genocide in Gaza, signalling an overwhelming public consensus regarding its war crimes.
The NatCen survey also highlighted a growing awareness of Washington’s complicity in these atrocities. Currently, 74 percent of the British public views the United States as a threat to global peace due to its unconditional military and diplomatic support for the Zionist entity.
This localised shift in the UK mirrors a broader international awakening. A Pew Research Center survey conducted between February and May found that unfavourable views of the Zionist regime have reached unprecedented highs, registering in 32 of the 36 countries surveyed worldwide. As the regime continues its relentless bombardment of Gaza and escalates regional tensions, its diplomatic isolation continues to deepen, even among its traditional Western allies.
