Poll: 49 Percent of Palestinians Would Recognize Jewish State
(Ynet News) Itamar Eichner - 49% of Palestinians living in the West Bank, Gaza, and east Jerusalem would agree to recognize Israel as Jewish as part of a peace agreement establishing a Palestinian state, while 48% object, a survey by Yediot Ahronot reported on Thursday. In June, before direct peace talks began, results were more positive when 58% said they would be willing to accept Israel as a Jewish state, while 39% objected. The survey was undertaken by Professor Yaacov Shamir of Hebrew University in Jerusalem and Professor Khalil Shikaki, who heads the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research in Ramallah.
