British Public Views Israel, U.S. as Major Global Threats

According to the International Desk of Webangah News Agency, a recent survey conducted by the UK’s National Centre for Social Research indicates a stark change in public opinion, with 78 percent of British citizens now considering the Israeli regime a significant threat to global peace. This figure represents a notable increase from just 20 years ago when only 48 percent of the population held such a view.

The National Centre for Social Research highlighted that Israel’s military actions in the Middle East have adversely impacted its international image. Two decades prior, less than half of Britons perceived the Israeli regime as a serious threat to world peace. However, this perception escalated to approximately three-quarters of respondents following the commencement of the Gaza conflict by autumn 2024. While this percentage saw a slight decrease subsequently, it surged again to 78 percent in the latest poll, reportedly in response to recent aggressions against Iran.

Furthermore, the survey found that 74 percent of Britons view the United States as a dangerous threat to global peace. This marks a significant rise from 2024, when that figure stood at 35 percent.
