Deal of the Century: Only 10% say it will bring peace

Only 10% of Israelis are optimistic that US President Donald Trump's new “Deal of the Century” diplomatic plan will bring about peace between Israelis and Palestinians, a Kantar poll taken for KAN found on Wednesday. The poll found that 61% of the 553 respondents, representing a statistical sample of the Israeli population, did not believe the plan would lead to peace, and 29% said they did not know. Asked if they favor applying Israeli law to Jewish communities in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley before the election, 43% said yes, 28% said no and the rest did not know. The poll also asked if Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu can keep his job once his criminal trial begins. Nearly half the respondents – 48% – said no, while 32% said yes and the remaining respondents were undecided. Netanyahu fared similarly in a Midgam poll of 503 respondents broadcast on Channel 12, in which 52% said Netanyahu could not run the country and his trial at the same time, 39% said he could and 9% said they did not know. The Midgam poll found that half of respondents supported Trump's plan, 26% opposed it and 24% admitted that they did not know what it says. When a survey of 743 respondents taken by pollster Camil Fuchs for Channel 13 asked specifically about applying Israeli law to settlements in Judea, Samaria and the Jordan Valley, 51% were in favor, 26% opposed and 23% did not know. Among Blue and White voters, 41% were in favor, 31% were against and 28% were undecided.
