Highlights
- The results confirm the in-principle commitment of Palestinians to peace negotiations. Hesitance to support the current process is a reflection of the inability of the process to deliver rather than an ideological opposition to peace, negotiations and coexistence.
- A two-state solution based on international legality was identified as the most desirable and most realistic solution to a peace settlement.
- The results of current poll continued an upward trend in approval of the performance of both Abbas and Fayyad and the downward spiral of Haniyeh’s popularity. The increase in popularity of Abbas and Fayyad are a likely reflection of the decision to from withdraw from negotiations in the face of continued settlement activities.
- The increasing popularity is probably also due to the technocratic performance of the Fayyad government in the fields of institution building, security, economy and service delivery in the West Bank.
