The Gaza war with Hamas has inevitably put back on the agenda a two-state solution, with US President Joe Biden’s administration and others repeatedly pushing it as part of the day after plan. And yet, a new poll by the Israel Democracy Institute has found that a growing number of Israelis no longer support a two state solution.  It also found a belligerent huge majority supporting a resumption of fighting against Hamas. Interestingly, Israeli Arabs were felling more identification with Israel but also had a rising sense of insecurity due to fear from attacks from radical Jews. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan heard more from the Dr. Tamar Herman Director of the Israel Democracy Institute’s Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research.
