What does the Jewish public in Israel think about a solution to the Palestinian issue and the Jewish settlements in Judea & Samaria post-10/7?
58% agree with the statement "Jewish settlements in Judea and Samaria create deterrence and contribute to the security of all Israeli citizens."
The majority (56%) of Jews in Israel disagree with the statement "The settlements in the territories are a burden on the IDF and harm the security of all Israeli citizens." About a third of Jews in Israel (35%) agree with this statement, meaning they think the settlements are a burden.
Director General of the Jewish People Policy Institute, Dr. Shuki Friedman:
"The survey results show that a large majority of Israelis believe that a solution to the "Palestinian issue" and Israeli control of Judea and Samaria is not expected in the foreseeable future. "This is an opportunity for Israeli society to put this controversy aside and resolve burning internal issues.
The traditional split between right and center is almost irrelevant, and therefore it is possible to unite and act as a Zionist bloc in resolving issues such as recruiting ultra-Orthodox soldiers and integrating them into Israeli society."
