Around four in five Britons view “Israel” as a serious threat to world peace, according to a new survey by the National Centre for Social Research [NatCen], published last week.

A total of 78% of respondents said they view “Israel” as a serious threat, compared with 48% 20 years ago. The percentage has also increased a full 10% in the last year.

The number of respondents who said they view the US as a serious threat to world peace was similar to the number for “Israel”, at 74%. This had doubled in just two years, with the same question receiving 35% in 2024.

Analyzing the trend, NatCen said ‘Israel’s’ reputation has “seemingly suffered from its involvement in recent Middle East conflict.”

“Two decades ago, a little under half regarded ‘Israel’ as a serious threat to peace. By the autumn of 2024. Following the Iran bombing campaign, 78% now saw ‘Israel’ as a serious threat to global peace.”
