Walla poll! NEWS: Only about one-third of the public supports unilateral annexation of the Jordan Valley

In the background of the preparations for the publication of the century deal and the political battle for the application of Israeli sovereignty in the valley before the elections, Walla poll! NEWS and a sample institute headed by Mano Geva reveal that only about one-third of the Israeli public supports unilateral annexation of the Jordan Valley, and even the right - less than half of those who define themselves as supportive chemists during the course. The survey found that 35% of respondents support unilateral annexation of the valley, while 30% oppose and 35% respond "don't know".

Earlier this week, Blue and White Chairman Benny Gantz announced that his party supports the application of sovereignty over Jordan - but not unilaterally, but in coordination with the international community and within a regional settlement. However, Gantz's statement strengthened the right-wing pressure Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is promoting a unilateral move to apply sovereignty over the valley even before the elections, and the right now is awaiting the publication of a plan that is expected to recognize some Israeli sovereignty in Judea and Samaria to get a green light to carry out unilateral moves, with the focus on the Jordan Valley.

The survey found that right now there are high rates of unilateral annexation of the valley - 48%, but no clear support: 21% of those who define themselves as right say they do not support it, and 31% responded "don't know". In the White-Blue Bay - which defines itself as center-left - only 20% support unilateral annexation, 44% do not support, and 36% do not. The trend that emerges from the high rates of non-position respondents in the survey indicates that the issue of annexation or the application of sovereignty, with or without an agreement, is not clear and clear to more than a third of the Israeli public.

Israel's third campaign last year was full of developments and events - primaries in the Likud, unions and connections on the right and left, and next week the focus will be on Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's immunity debates in the Knesset, in parallel with the debate on annexation and preparation for the White House peace plan. But despite the political and political events, so far, there has been no dramatic shift in the political map and there is almost complete stagnation in the division of interdisciplinary mandates. Blue and white increased the gap from the Likud in one mandate as the largest party with 35 seats compared to 32 of the Likud, which weakened one mandate compared to the previous poll. However, the center-left bloc does not break the 44 mandates of the last election, along with the United Left Labor-Bridge-Meretz list, which receives 9 seats in the poll.

On the other side, the right-wing ultra-Orthodox bloc is stable with 55 seats: 32 Likud's, 8 Shs seats and 8 to the right, and 7 Torah Judaism, which has weakened one mandate compared to the previous poll. The joint list with 13 mandates and Israel Our House with 8 guards In the background of the heavy pressure on Jewish power and Itamar Ben Gvir to step down from the race, the party is still far from blocked, receiving only 2.2%, according to the poll. It is clear from the plunder, and without the disintegration of the blocks and blocks, it will be difficult until impossible to form a government.
