Poll: Nearly All Palestinians Back Hezbollah
Ryan R. Jones - All Headline News Correspondent Jerusalem, Israel (AHN) - According to the results of a public opinion poll published Tuesday, nearly all Palestinians support Hezbollah in its war against Israel. Conducted by the Near East Consulting group, the survey asked more than 1,200 Palestinians in the West Bank and Gaza if they support the Lebanese terror group in its aggression against Israel. Ninety-seven percent answered in the affirmative. The poll also found that an increasing number of Palestinians, 55 percent of those polled, support Hamas's position regarding the ultimate destruction of Israel. Israel and the US had hoped economic sanctions on the Hamas-led Palestinian Authority would diminish public support for the terror group. At the same time, only 51 percent of Palestinians now desire a peace settlement with Israel. That number is down from 76 percent in a June survey.
