Palestinians don’t want Trump involved in peace process — poll

A new poll published today indicates that most Palestinians don’t want US President-elect Donald Trump to play a role in future rounds of peace talks with Israel.

A slim majority of the respondents (53 percent) say they want him to stay out, while 30 percent said they want him to play a strong role in that process. Some 10 percent want him in the same role the current administration plays.

However, 65 percent of Palestinians in Gaza and the West Bank no longer believe a two-state solution to the conflict with Israel is possible.

According to the survey, carried out by Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, the Palestinian loss of faith in the two-state solution is nine points higher than it was three months ago.
