The vast majority of Israeli Jews are against the release of terrorists "with blood on their hands" as a means of restarting peace talks with the Palestinian Authority, a poll commissioned by the Israel Hayom daily newspaper has found.
Almost 85 percent of Israeli Jews are against the release of terrorists who have committed deadly attacks as a means of facilitating the upcoming peace talks, the poll shows (9.4% said they would support such a move and 5.7% had no opinion).
A smaller proportion (78.1%) said such terrorists should not be released even after the talks resumed and even if such a move was contingent on progress in the peace process (13.7% support this, with 8.2% having no opinion).
The poll was conducted by New Wave Research on Wednesday and published in Israel Hayoms Friday edition. Five hundred adult respondents comprising a random and representative sample of Israel's Hebrew-speaking Jewish population were polled.
