Support for two-state solution shrinks
Arutz Sheva Staff, 16/02/17
A survey released after the much-anticipated meeting between President Donald Trump and Prime Minister Binyamin Netanyahu shows support for the two-state solution is in decline.
The “Mishal Amim” poll, conducted by the Tammy Steinmetz Center for Peace Studies in December, 2016 reveals shrinking support for the two-state solution among both Israelis and the residents of the Palestinian Authority.
The results of the survey, released on Thursday, show that only 55% of Israelis and 44% of PA Arabs support a two-state solution. That’s a significant decrease compared to the last survey, conducted in June, which found 59% of Israelis and 51% of the Palestinian Authority Arabs supporting the two-state solution.
In addition to weakening support for a two-state solution, the poll also showed exceedingly low levels of trust between the two sides. Seventy-one percent of Israelis say that they don’t trust Arabs who reside in the Palestinian Authority, while 86% of PA residents say they do not trust Israeli Jews.
