The vast majority of Israelis prefer the normalization of ties with the UAE over annexation of parts of the West Bank, a Channel 12 survey finds.
However, while 76.7% of respondents say they prefer the deal with Abu Dhabi, 61.4% — including 50% of right-wingers — say Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has broken his promise to his voters by giving up the plan to immediately annex the Jordan Valley and Israeli settlements.
Just 16.5% prefer annexation over the UAE deal, according to the poll.
It also finds that 85.8% will not change their vote as a result of the deal. Just 7.5% said it affects their vote, including 10% of right-wing voters.
The poll was conducted today by the Direct Polls group among 545 respondents representing Israel’s adult population, with a margin of error of 4.4%.
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.
