71% of Israelis oppose Palestinian state; 68% support sovereignty in J&S: poll

More than half of respondents would oppose a Palestinian state even if it were part of a Saudi-Israel peace deal.

Seventy-one percent of Israelis oppose the establishment of a Palestinian state in Judea and Samaria. Nearly 70% want to extend Israeli sovereignty over the area, according to a poll conducted on Jan. 29.

The survey comes on the background of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s departure on Sunday to meet with U.S. President Donald Trump in Washington, D.C.
