Some 80 percent of American Jews support the Clinton administration’s current efforts to revive Israeli-Palestinian negotiations, according to a poll conducted for the Israel Policy Forum. The poll also found that a 5-1 margin of the respondents do not believe President Clinton would do anything to harm Israel’s security. The poll, which was conducted after the Clinton administration gave Israel a deadline to accept a proposal to break the deadlocked negotiations, indicated overall that the Clinton administration had no need to fear an American Jewish backlash against its Middle East stance.
