New Palestinian Poll Reveals "Wait And See" View of Trump Peace Plan
(Washington Institute for Near East Policy) David Pollock - A new poll by the Palestine Center for Public Opinion, taken June 27-July 19, shows that the majority of Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza oppose their leaderships' preemptive rejection of the U.S. peace plan. Only 1/3 of Palestinians agree that "the PA should reject the plan now." The survey also found that 61% of West Bankers and 86% of Gazans agree that "Arab states should take a more active role in Palestinian-Israeli peacemaking." Last year, only about half of Palestinians agreed with that idea. 56% of West Bankers, but only 40% of Gazans support the PA's official boycott of the Trump Administration.
