Key Takeaways

Among the 24 countries surveyed in early 2025, the majority of respondents had a negative view of Israel (median 62%).
Just three countries had more positive responses than negative: India, Kenya, and Nigeria.

In a world increasingly shaped by shifting alliances and global conflict, public opinion is a useful measure of diplomatic standing.

In this graphic, we visualize international views on Israel based on a 24 country survey conducted in 2025. The data suggests that Israel faces disapproval across many parts of the globe, with only a handful of nations offering more positive than negative perceptions.

Data & Discussion

The data for this visualization comes from the Pew Research Center.

It explores attitudes toward Israel across 24 countries, measuring both unfavorable and favorable responses. Median averages show that 62% hold an unfavorable view of Israel, with only 29% expressing favorable opinions. Note that those who did not answer were not shown.

Widespread Negative Sentiment

Türkiye reported the highest share of negative views, with 93% of respondents holding an unfavorable opinion of Israel. This includes a decisive 84% who said they view Israel “very unfavorably.”

International views of Israel are also quite negative throughout most of Europe and Asia, particularly in Indonesia (80% total unfavorable) and Japan (79% total unfavorable).

Reasons for these results likely include support for Palestine, anti-war attitudes, and religious solidarity. Indonesia, for example, has the world’s largest Muslim population in the world.

Countries That View Israel Positively

Only three countries from this survey had a majority of respondents expressing favorable opinions: Nigeria (59%), Kenya (50%), and India (34% favorable vs. 29% unfavorable). These nations stand out as outliers, possibly due to different geopolitical alignments or media narratives. Note that India has the highest share of non-responses, at 37%.
