Israel should cede Palestinian parts of Jerusalem, say 50% of Israelis
- 8 years ago
Half of the Israelis polled this week think Israel should let go of Palestinian neighborhoods of East Jerusalem, which it annexed after the 1967 Mideast war.
The survey was conducted by the Israeli Knesset's tv channel after Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu suggested the possibility of revoking the residency status of Palestinians who reside in certain East Jerusalem neighborhoods.
The survey asked a sampling of adult Israelis what they think about repealing the rights of East Jerusalem Palestinians, such as welfare payments, voting in municipal elections and Israeli license plates on their cars.
Some 58% said they favored the idea, while 35% said they were opposed.
