“Our opposition to a Palestinian state on any territory west of the Jordan River exists, is firm, and has not changed in the slightest,” Netanyahu said, rejecting a US-backed statement calling for a “pathway” for creating “Palestine.”
A recent survey by the Jerusalem Centre for Security and Foreign Affairs (JCFA) found overwhelming Israeli opposition to the establishment of a Palestinian state.
The poll of 698 Jewish and Arab Israelis, conducted from November 16-17 by Menachem Lazar, found 70 per cent (±3.7 per cent) of Israelis opposed a Palestinian state along the pre-1967 lines — the highest level of opposition recorded by the centre since the war began.
Among Jewish Israelis, opposition stands at 79 per cent.
