Israel’s international reputation has continued to decline, according to the latest survey by the Pew Research Center. Conducted across 36 countries, including Bangladesh, the study found that an average of 67 percent of adults hold negative views of Israel, while only 25 percent view the country positively. Most interviews were conducted after February 28, when the United States and Israel began a war against Iran, which has intensified global economic challenges.

The survey revealed particularly strong hostility toward Israel in Muslim-majority countries such as Bangladesh, Indonesia, Malaysia, Pakistan, and Turkey, as well as in the occupied West Bank and East Jerusalem. Pew noted that it was unable to conduct polling in Gaza. European respondents also expressed widespread negativity, with about two-thirds or more adults in Italy, the Netherlands, and Spain reporting highly unfavorable opinions of Israel.

The findings indicate that Israel’s image, already damaged by the Gaza conflict, has worsened further since the Iran war. In 13 of the 24 countries tracked, negative sentiment toward Israel has increased, including in Argentina, Australia, Italy, Nigeria, Poland, and the United Kingdom.
