Light, Dawning?

Palestinians want new elections, would vote Abbas. Results of a new opinion poll.

Palestinians are also very concerned about their personal safety (80.4 per cent) which they blame on last year’s Hamas electoral victory (76.1 per cent) compared to only 22.8 per cent who believe instead it has improved. Israel tops the list of causes for this worsening situation (25.6 per cent), followed by “the persistence of Hamas in its positions” (21.5 per cent), the “American intervention'” (19.3 per cent), or “the Prime Minister’s hesitation” (11.5 per cent).
For an overwhelming majority (77.2 per cent), the halt to international assistance following Hamas’s victory is a direct cause of the worsening situation.
