A new survey by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI) has found that 38% of Jewish Israelis support annexing the entire West Bank, while 35% favor partitioning the territory.
The poll found that 22% of Jewish Israelis would like annexation to be followed by a relocation of the Arab population to other countries. Twenty-one percent backed Palestinian statehood in Arab-majority areas, while 14% supported the area being annexed to Jordan.
The poll also found 58% of all Israelis, Jewish and Arab, do not believe the recently announced agreement for the disarmament of Hamas in Gaza will be implemented. Fifteen percent said it could lead to partial disarmament, 13% expect the deal to actually lead to renewed fighting, and only 3% think the terror group will fully disarm.
The survey was conducted among 748 respondents, Jewish and Arab, on August 2-5, 2026.
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.
