Most Israeli Jews say Jerusalem is a city divided
Add ToI as a Preferred Source on GoogleThe IDI Peace Index also asked respondents whether they agree with the statement that Jerusalem is a divided city.
According to an abstract from the IDI, “A clear majority of Jewish Israelis (61%) thinks Jerusalem is divided into a western and eastern city.”
In comparison, when the IDI first asked that question in 1999, 49% of respondents said the city was not divided, as opposed to 44% who said it was.
The rate of Israelis who see the city as divided is much higher among left-wing Israelis: 88.5% and 85% among voters of the Zionist Union and Meretz, respectively.
“Likud voters were split on the question (49% for each view),” the abstract says. “Some 47% of Arab Israelis think it is divided.”
