Jewish-Israeli Public Opinion
Jerusalem
From 2022 to 2023, the support for building a synagogue and a temple on the Temple Mount remains fairly stable.
​
​
​
From 2022 to 2023, the support for letting any Jew who wants to be allowed to pray at the Temple Mount decreased, with about 50% of the population's support. This corresponds the observed increase in limiting Jewish visitation to the area observed from 2022 to 2023.
From 2022 to 2023, a decrease in support is observed for strengthening Israeli control of the Temple Mount as it may cause riots among Arabs and harm peace with Jordan and Gulf countries.
Support for the Temple Mount remaining under Muslim control and keeping the existing status quo remains constant. However, there is more support for not changing the status on the Temple Mount compared to it being under Muslim control.
Support for transferring East Jerusalem to the Palestinians as part of a permanent agreement and dividing Jerusalem into two capitals remains low but constant throughout 2023.
