Pollster Baltijos Tyrimai interviewed 1,005 Lithuanian residents aged 18 and over from 21 June to 7 July 2024.

Among those polled, 33% said the country should back the state of Palestine, while 28% would object that.

More than a third of the respondents in each age group had no opinion on recognising the Palestinian state.

Support for Palestinian statehood was most common among respondents with a family income of over EUR 2,000 and those living in the major cities (43.7% and 42.2% respectively).

In May this year, President Gitanas Nausėda said Lithuanian supported a two-state solution to the long-standing conflict as he commented on the decision of Norway, Ireland and Spain to recognise a Palestinian state. He noted, however, that neither Israel nor Palestine have been ready for that yet.
