New Poll Findings

From the latest Peace Index Poll:

Sixty-six percent endorse Netanyahu’s view that Israel should continue the construction given that Jerusalem as a whole is Israel’s capital and there is no controversy over Israel’s right to build anywhere in the city. Only 27%, the overwhelming majority of them Meretz and Labor voters, oppose Netanyahu’s position while the rest do not know. The positions on this question accord with the distribution of the public’s views on the Netanyahu government’s handling of Israel’s foreign policy in general: 53% assess it positively while only 33% judge it negatively. A clear majority of voters for all the parties, with the exceptions of Labor and Meretz, currently view the government’s foreign policy positively.
