A majority of Israelis oppose the idea of annexing and resettling the Gaza Strip, a poll finds.
While 56 percent are against such a move, 33% support it and 11% are uncertain, according to the Hebrew University survey.
The survey was conducted by iPanel via the internet and by telephone on December 7-9 with a nationally representative sample of 1,524 adult men and women in Hebrew, and 334 in Arabic. The margin of sampling error is +4.2%.
Israel unilaterally withdrew the last of its troops and 8,000 settlers from the Gaza Strip in September 2005.
Since the start of the Israel-Hamas war, nationalist groups and far-right members of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s coalition have been campaigning for the reestablishment of Israel’s Gush Katif settlement bloc in Gaza.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
