Poll: Only 6 Percent of Arabs Accept Recognizing Israel
(Arab News-Saudi Arabia) Ray Hanania - 87% of citizens in the Arab world oppose recognition of Israel while only 6% accept it, according to a new survey by the Arab Center Washington DC. Of those 6%, "half made such a move conditional on the formation of an independent Palestinian state," said Tamara Kharroub, deputy executive director at the ACW. These findings have been consistent with every such poll conducted since 2014. The highest rates of opposition to recognizing Israel were recorded in Libya (96%), Jordan (95%), Kuwait (94%), and the Palestinian territories (91%).
