Almost two-thirds of Israeli Jews do not think Palestinians will more readily come to an agreement with Israel if a Herzog/Livni government led the country instead of a Likud government.
According to the monthly Peace Index poll, published by the Israel Democracy Institute in conjunction with Tel Aviv University, 32% of Israeli Arabs believed the party which forms the next government will have an influence on talks between Israel and the Palestinians, while 31% thought it makes no difference.
Almost half of Israelis (49%) believe the Obama administration will be friendlier to a government led by Isaac Herzog and Tzipi Livni. Thirty-three percent believe the US administration will not treat a Herzog/Livni government differently than it does now the Likud government led by Netanyahu. A minority of 7% believe Obama will be more hostile to Herzog and Livni than he is perceived to be toward Netanyahu.
The survey was conducted on March 1-3, i.e., before Netanyahu’s Congress speech and the responses from the White House. Six hundred respondents who constitute a representative sample of the adult population of Israel participated. The margin of error is ±4.1%.
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.
