As an ongoing and topical issue, the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was examined separately from the other scenarios. In the current wave, 55% of the public indicated that the issue of the conflict constitutes a significant threat to Israel to a large or very large extent, similar to 53% in the previous wave (a non-significant difference). However, the proportion of respondents answering "to a very large extent" rose from 16% to 21%.

Perception of the threat associated with the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is high across all political orientations: 68% of those who identify as left-wing view the issue as a threat to a large or very large extent, compared to 59% of those in the political center and 50% of those on the right.

When asked which scenario related to the conflict is perceived as the most threatening, public threat perception is distributed among the alternatives: 35% view a bi-national state in which Palestinians are granted full citizenship as the main threat, 24% point to the two-state solution, and 24% to full annexation without granting citizenship. The proportion of those who believe that none of the scenarios constitutes a significant threat stands at 9% (11% in the previous wave). Among Jewish respondents, the bi-national state scenario is the most prominent (39%), while among Arab respondents, the annexation scenario stands out (46%).

Finally, when respondents were asked to choose between the general scenario they selected as the most threatening and the Israeli-Palestinian scenario they selected, 68% chose the general scenario and 30% chose the Israeli-Palestinian scenario—rates identical to those measured in the previous wave. In other words, although the Israeli-Palestinian conflict issue is perceived as a significant threat in its own right, for most of the public it does not outweigh the general scenario they identified as most threatening.
