More than eight months after the Palestinian leadership decided to break all ties and contacts with the United States, the majority of Palestinians appear to have sided with their leadership, whose popularity has increased slightly.
According to the latest public opinion poll of Palestinians, published Aug. 6 by the Jerusalem Media and Communications Center (JMCC) in cooperation with the Berlin-based Friedrich Ebert Stiftung, 61% oppose US peace efforts, while 80% of respondents “don’t believe [the forthcoming US peace plan] will produce anything acceptable to Palestinians.”
