A Jerusalem Post public opinion poll today shows an increase in the number of Israelis ready to exchange occupied land for peace. Those firmly opposed to any territorial compromise declined from 52 percent in September to 42.4 percent in the last week of December and the first days of January.
The percentage of those ready to give up parts of the West Bank rose from 34.2 percent to 39.8 percent, while those ready to give up all the West Bank, apart from East Jerusalem, rose from 8.5 to 11.8 percent.
There was a drop in those ready to give up the entire West Bank, including East Jerusalem, from 2.7 to 1.8 percent and an increase in the “undecided” from 2.6 to 4.2 percent.
