Poll: Most Israelis skeptical about success of Trump’s peace plan

Jerusalem — An Israeli public opinion survey says that Israelis are skeptical about the potential for success of an expected peace plan from the Trump administration.

The survey by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University indicates that nearly three-quarters of respondents think the plan has a low chance of success. The survey did not ask respondents why they think so.

The survey also found that that 77 percent of respondents think Israel’s interests are important to President Donald Trump, whereas more than 60 percent think the Palestinians’ interests are not important to Trump.

Trump is expected to reveal a peace plan soon that the Palestinians worry will heavily favor Israel.
Monday’s survey, which has a margin of error of 4.1 percentage points, included 600 Jewish and Arab respondents.   /vvp
