A majority of Israelis favor some form of territorial compromise, according to the latest poll conducted by the Modi’in Ezrachi Research Institute.
But less than 4 percent of Israelis would give up the entire West Bank and East Jerusalem in return for a peace treaty, according to the poll, which was published Thursday.
Nearly 20 percent arc willing to give up the entire West Bank, but not East Jerusalem, and 35 percent arc willing to accept some territorial concessions.
Forty-two percent are against any territorial concessions whatsoever, even in return for a peace treaty.
In addition, 53 percent of those polled said they disapprove of the behavior of Shas in the Knesset no-confidence vote March 15.
It was the abstention from that vote of five members of Shas, the Scphardic religious party, that brought down the Likud-led government of Yitzhak Shamir.
