Peace for Israel and Palestine?
Public Opinion 20 Years after Oslo
In collaboration with
The Arab American Institute.
As Secretary of State John Kerry's April deadline for a peace agreement approaches, a key concern is whether the
Israeli and Palestinian publics are ready to support an agreement. Where do Israelis and Palestinians stand on key
issues, and what kind of peace agreement do they want?
Twenty years after the signing of the Oslo Accords, Zogby Research Services examined these questions in its latest
public opinion poll on Israeli and Palestinian attitudes toward the peace process. Please join the Arab American
Institute and the New America Foundation's Middle East Task Force for the survey's public release and a discussion
of its findings. The poll, conducted for the Sir Bani Yas Forum in the UAE, provides critical insights for today's
peace negotiators as they seek a viable agreement that both the Israeli and Palestinian publics can support.
