One Voice did a poll which has some very interesting results pertaining to peace between Palestinians and Israelis. The poll captures some of the major interests and positions of both parties and could be very useful for purposing or crafting a peace plan or positive change in the region. Some of the results included:
"Table 1. Problems of ‘substance’ for the Israel/Palestine peace process expressed as per cent ‘Very significant’."
1st
Palestine: Establishing an independent sovereign state of Palestine 97%
Israel: Security for Israel 77%
2nd
Palestine: The rights of refugees 95%
Israel: Agreement on the future of Jerusalem 68%
