Poll: Most Palestinians, Israelis Support Two-State Solution
------------------------------------------------------------



The developments come as a new poll shows a majority of both
Palestinians and Israelis would support a two-state solution. According
to the group One Voice, 74 percent of Palestinians and 78 percent of
Israelis say they would accept the establishment of a Palestinian state
in the West Bank and Gaza alongside Israel. Palestinian leaders,
including Hamas, have accepted the two-state solution. Successive
Israeli governments have rejected returning Palestinian land and have
instead expanded Israeli settlements in the occupied West Bank while
maintaining the stranglehold over the Gaza Strip.
