Eid initially worked for B'Tselem, documenting Israeli human rights violations against Palestinians, but changed his views after the Oslo Accords. His research currently focusses on human rights violations committed by the Palestinian Authority (PA) and the Palestinian armed forces.[6]
Bassem Eid opposes the Palestinian right of return. Eid opposes the one-state solution.[6] In 2023 Bassem also opposed the creation of a Palestinian state and predicted Israel will annex the West Bank without giving Palestinian residents full citizenship.[7]
