Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleMore than half of Israelis opposed the disengagement from Gaza, a new poll finds.
According to a survey by the Begin-Sadat Center of Strategic Studies, 63 percent of respondents say they had opposed the evacuation, while 51% say Israel should resettle the territory.
Nearly half of respondents (47%) also oppose evacuating West Bank Jewish settlements, while 53% support such a move under the appropriate circumstances (like a peace agreement with the Palestinians).
The survey is published ahead of a conference marking 10 years to the Gaza disengagement, which will take place at the Begin Sadat Center in two days.
The survey was conducted among 587 Israelis in the second week of July, representing a representative cross-section of Israeli society.
