After October 7, majority of Israelis support rebuilding the Temple, up from 30% in 2013
Twelve years ago, only 30% of Israeli Jews supported rebuilding the Beit HaMikdash, the Holy Temple, on Har HaBayit, the Temple Mount. Today, that number stands at 55%. The shift did not happen gradually or quietly. It happened on October 7, 2023, when Hamas terrorists massacred 1,200 Israelis and shattered whatever remained of the Israeli public’s assumptions about security, sovereignty, and the spiritual stakes of this conflict.
