Nearly 78 per cent of Britons consider Israel a serious threat to world peace, marking a sharp rise in public concern over the country's role in international conflicts, according to a survey by the National Centre for Social Research (NatCen).

The findings, published on November 5, 2026, show that the proportion of Britons viewing Israel as a serious threat has increased from 48 per cent in 2005 to 78 per cent in 2026. The figure stood at 73 per cent in autumn 2024.

The survey also found that 89 per cent of respondents considered Russia a serious threat to world peace, followed by Israel at 78 per cent, Iran at 75 per cent, the United States at 74 per cent and China at 62 per cent.

Researchers said the findings reflected changing British perceptions of international security amid growing geopolitical tensions and conflicts in the Middle East.
