In conclusion, increased calls by Israelis to stop the war shows that they are going through a state of uncertainty that their state would continue to exist. This is evident through the fact that more than 90 per cent of them said in October 2023 that the army would defeat Hamas in the war, but now, in July 2024, only 61 per cent believe so. This means that almost 40 per cent of Israelis have no confidence in the possibility of victory. This is a humiliating percentage that has no parallel in the history of the state and reflects a deep lack of confidence in its future.
