The following Poll
was conducted and released by the Development Studies Program (DSP) at
Beir Zeit University and supported by the International Republican
Institute (IRI). Fieldwork for the poll was conducted February 6-10,
2003. The Peace Process A majority of the respondents (52%) supports the resumption of peace negotiations with Israel. Support is equally distributed between Gaza and the West Bank. In contrast, 46% oppose such negotiations at the present time. Armed Attacks against Israelis A majority of Palestinians (69%) approves of a halt on armed attacks against Israelis residing in Israel. This is, however, conditional upon the ability of Palestinian political groups to reach an agreement amongst themselves on this issue. In addition, for 55%, it is conditional upon an Israeli halt on attacks against Palestinian civilians. |
