Resolves YES/NO to majority vote of poll I will hold around market close. If the poll is 50/50 I will resolve to PROB=50%.

The question I have proposed to you refers to the possibility of the UN Security Council, the body in charge of maintaining international peace and security, imposing coercive measures on Israel for its military actions against the Gaza Strip, a territory Palestinian under the control of the Islamist group Hamas. These measures could include economic embargoes, travel restrictions, severing diplomatic relations or even the use of force.

The current situation between Israel and Hamas has worsened since last October 7, when the Palestinian group launched an offensive with rockets and drones against several Israeli cities, kidnapping several civilians and soldiers. Israel responded with an intense aerial bombardment campaign on Gaza, causing hundreds of deaths and injuries, as well as severe damage to infrastructure and basic services. Both sides have rejected international calls for a ceasefire and negotiation.

Public opinion on this conflict is very diverse and polarized, both inside and outside the region. Some sectors support Israel's right to defend itself from Hamas terrorist attacks, while others denounce Israel's violations of human rights and international humanitarian law, accusing it of applying a system of apartheid and genocide against the Palestinians. There are also those who advocate for a peaceful and just solution that recognizes the right to existence and security of both peoples.

According to a survey carried out by the Center for Sociological Research (CIS) in Spain in September 2023, 54.7% of Spaniards are in favor of the UN Security Council imposing sanctions on Israel for its air attacks against Gaza, while 28.9% are opposed and 16.4% do not know or do not answer. These data reflect a majority tendency in favor of the yes option in the question posed. However, this opinion may vary depending on the political, social and cultural context of each country or region.
