Only 20% of Palestinians in the West Bank feel a strong connection to the Palestinian people, highlighting a significant shift in national identity.
The survey was conducted by the Israel Centre for Grand Strategy and published exclusively by N12.
It was conducted before the events of October 7, yet still underscores the growing trend of young Palestinians identifying more with their family clans than with broader Palestinian nationalism.
According to the survey, 65% of respondents said they primarily identify with their family clan, with this sentiment being particularly strong among younger Palestinians aged 18-35, 76% of whom expressed a stronger connection to their clan than to the Palestinian national identity.
