Israeli poll shows strong support for Kerry plan - about 76 % when details explained

62% without explanation.

The poll was of Hebrew speaking Israelis - so some people are not included. It is reported in Haaretz (left leaning paper) and was funded by the Israeli Peace Initiative. Important point is that the results are significantly better than polls over the last few months.

(Two caveats - it is not clear what the numbers would be if those not speaking Hebrew were included. This is funded by a group in favor of a settlement.)

Additionally, it suggests that if Netanyahu led a new party with this peace agenda he would get votes of 56% of them --- with 73% supporting his action on peace.
