More Palestinians Seek Abbas Resignation; Skeptical Of Trump


A poll indicates that 67 percent of Palestinians demand the resignation of President Mahmoud Abbas, up 5 points from June, and that three-quarters believe the Trump administration isn’t serious about an Israel-Palestinian peace deal.

The survey among 1,270 Palestinians was published Tuesday, a day ahead of a Trump-Abbas meeting on the sidelines of the U.N. General Assembly. The Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research poll had an error margin of 3 percentage points.

President Donald Trump said this week that his administration is “working very hard” toward a deal, but hasn’t publicly supported establishing a Palestinian state alongside Israel or offered another path forward.

Tuesday’s poll says 52 percent of Palestinians still support a two-state solution, but 57 percent say it’s no longer feasible because of Israeli settlement expansion.
