A new survey by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) has found that 38 percent of Jewish Israelis support annexing the entire West Bank, while 35 percent favour partitioning the territory.
The survey was conducted among 748 respondents, Jewish and Palestinian [‘Arab’], found that 22 percent of Jewish Israelis would like annexation to be followed by a relocation of the Palestinian population to other countries. While 21 percent backed Palestinian statehood in Palestinian-majority areas, 14 percent supported the area being annexed to Jordan.
The survey also found 58 percent of all Israelis, Jewish and Palestinian, do not believe the recently announced agreement for the disarmament of Hamas in Gaza will be implemented. Fifteen percent said it could lead to partial disarmament, 13 percent expect the deal to actually lead to renewed fighting, and only 3 percent think the group will fully disarm.
