In a revealing survey by the Jerusalem Center for Foreign Affairs (JCFA), 64% of the Israeli public stands against establishing a Palestinian state as part of the normalization process with Saudi Arabia. The full report will be unveiled at the 13th Annual Jerusalem Post Conference in New York next week. In collaboration with the Panels Politics research institute, led by Menachem Lazar, the survey focuses on the stance of both Jewish and Arab Israelis on this critical political issue.

The opposition to a Palestinian state shows significant political divides: 84% of right-wing voters, 54% of centrist voters, and 24% of left-wing voters oppose the move. Interestingly, a similar percentage of left-wing voters support the establishment of a Palestinian state without conditions. ...

The survey revealed that the October 7 massacre caused one-third of respondents, who previously believed a Palestinian state could be established under certain conditions, to change their stance and now oppose it entirely.
