Poll: Majority of Israelis think US embassy move will spark violence
A majority of Israelis believe moving the US embassy to Jerusalem to mark Israel’s 70th anniversary will lead to renewed violence between Israelis and Palestinians, a poll released Thursday says.
While 61% of both Jews and Arabs say moving the embassy will lead to violence, 69% of Jews nevertheless say moving the embassy should not be put off, according to the monthly Peace Index of the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University.
A vast majority (77.5%) of Arab Israelis, however, believe the embassy move should be delayed.
Separately, 59% of Jews and 75% of Arabs say they don’t believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s denial of wrongdoing in a series of graft probes.
