And the Israelis have a much better understanding than Americans about what the needs were and where the aid was actually going (Hamas).

The question about a political agreement to end the war included the creation of a Palestinian country¹. That's a lot more than just ending the war by releasing hostages, isn't it? The last thing the ME needs right now is another highly radicalized, failed state heading towards a full blown civil war. The question pretty much demonstrated that the authors of this poll have an agenda.

It's also worth noting that this was an internet/phone poll of about 500 Jewish Israelis.

1. "Would you support or oppose an agreement to end the war which includes the release of all the hostages, long-term military quiet with guarantees from the United States, and a peace agreement with Saudi Arabia, in return for the release by Israel of large numbers of Palestinian prisoners, an extended ceasefire, and agreement to the establishment of a demilitarized Palestinian state in the long term"?
