Despite It All, Most Israelis Still Support the Two-state Solution
Although the majority of Israelis support partition, almost a quarter are happy to sanction a binational state in which the Palestinians lack full rights, study shows.
The majority of Israelis continue to view the two-state solution as preferable for the long-term, provided the prime minister is behind the proposal. However, most Israelis don’t believe the prime minister when he says he intends to advance that solution. Almost a quarter of Israelis say that a binational solution in which the Palestinians will lack full rights – in short, an apartheid state – is preferable. And, according to another finding of a special survey conducted for Haaretz’s Israel Conference on Peace, 40 percent of Israelis have never visited a settlement in the territories.
