It is possible that West Bankers still believe that the negotiations are necessary and are waiting for them to materialize. In the Gaza Strip, the issue of negotiations is not as urgent. The poll results show a correlation between district and view of the negotiations. In contrast, residents of the middle and south of the Gaza Strip are least supportive of the negotiations. This is related to another variable which is refugee status.
Refugees are more critical of the negotiations than non-refugees.
The residents of the middle and south of Gaza are mostly refugees. In Gaza City, the majority of the residents are non-refugees. This correlation meant that opposition to the negotiations is higher in refugee camps than in towns, cities, and villages. There is also a correlation between political affiliation and views on the negotiations. It is interesting to find that among the support groups, the supporters of the People's Party are the most critical.
