Sixty-four percent of Israeli respondents in a new poll support the expansion of Jewish communities in the West Bank, while 73 percent believe a two-state solution will not foster Israeli-Palestinian peace.

According to the Maagar Mohot Institute poll, 15 percent of Israelis support a full moratorium on Jewish building in the West Bank, down from 20 percent last year. Additionally, 64 percent of last year’s respondents did not believe in a two-state solution’s potential to bring about peace, a figure that increased by 9 percentage points this year.

Forty-six percent of respondents this year oppose territorial concessions by Israel in peace negotiations, up from 38 percent in 2009.
