TEHRAN, July 02 - Israelis have little hope that a peace proposal expected to be unveiled soon by the Trump administration will succeed, according to a public opinion poll released Monday.
TEHRAN, Young Journalists Club (YJC) - The survey by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University indicates that nearly three-quarters of respondents think the plan has a very low or moderately low chance of success. The survey did not ask respondents why they think so, AP reported.
The poll found that 77 percent of respondents think Israel's interests are important to
Trump, whereas more than 60 percent think the Palestinians' interests are not important to Trump.
Shortly after taking office, Trump dispatched his Mideast team to the region in a bid to forge what he has called the "ultimate" deal between Israel and the Palestinians. The administration has said it will present its vision for peace soon.
The poll found that while more than half of respondents supported peace talks with the Palestinians, less than one-fifth believed such negotiations would lead to peace in the coming years.
The poll, which had a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points, included 600 Jewish and Arab respondents.
