The poll was conducted by the Harry S.Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research.
The majority of both Israelis (64%) and Palestinians (68%) are skeptical that a Palestinian state will be established alongside Israel in the next five years, the survey found. Almost half of Israeli respondents answered that a two-state solution is doomed to fail, while 44% think it is still relevant. The solution of one state for two peoples did not fare any better, with almost two-thirds of both sides opposing the idea.
On both sides the majority supports their respective government's stance on Palestinian-Israeli negotiations. Most of the Israelis polled (68%) rejected the Palestinian pre-conditions that Israel commit to return to the pre-1967 lines with land swaps and a halt of settlement construction. Meanwhile, 58% of Palestinians polled opposed returning to the negotiation table without those conditions.
