68% of Israeli Jews Support End to Peace Talks

A large majority of the Jewish public in Israel (68%) support the government’s decision to halt peace talks with the Palestinian Authority (PA) following its unity pact with Hamas, a poll revealed Wednesday.

 

The Guttman Center and Evens Program for Conflict Resolution at Tel Aviv University (TAU) conducted the poll, a monthly “Peace Index” part of the Israel Democracy Institute.

 

According to the poll, 68% of the Jewish public supported the State’s decision to curtail talks with the PA, but the results were heavily polarized by political affiliation. Of respondents who answered that they supported the move, 82% identified as “right-wing,” 59% identified as “moderates” and only 26% identified themselves as “left-wing.”
