The survey was conducted by the Council for a Secure America, a New York-based non-profit. It found that 64% of Israelis reject the concept of a two-state solution.

It also found that opposition to the two-state solution increased by levels of religiosity. The survey found support for the two-state solution at 29% among secular Jews, 18% among traditional Jews, 5% among Orthodox Jews, and 2% among Haredi Orthodox Jews.

The survey also found that support for the two-state solution increased with age. While 24% of people over the age of 44 supported two states, only 16% of respondents under 44 supported it.

The poll also noted widespread support for an agreement to normalize ties with Saudi Arabia, with 80% in favor, 6% opposed, and 14% saying they didn’t know.

Asked about Israel releasing imprisoned Palestinian terrorists in exchange for hostages held in Gaza, 69% said they supported the deal, 16% said they were opposed and 15% said they didn’t know.  It also noted that support declined by levels of religiosity. The poll found support for the deal at 84% among secular Jews, 65% among traditional Jews, 49% among Orthodox Jews, and 38% among Haredi Orthodox Jews.

In response to questions about Gaza’s future, 38% preferred that Israel administer the Strip and 34% said it should be run by a coalition of moderate Arab states. The remaining 12% was divided between the United Nations,  the Palestinian Authority, and local Gaza clans.

The survey questioned 529 Israelis between Feb. 2-4 and has 4% margin of error.

CSA executive director Jennifer Sutton said the findings would be used to engage U.S. lawmakers.
