Twenty Years After Oslo: What do Palestinians Think?
Abstract
A unique public opinion survey was designed and implemented in the West Bank in the summer of 2013, to correspond with the 20th anniversary of the signing of the Oslo Accords (Sample, N=832 responses). The study explores a number of social, economic, and political issues, as seen by Palestinians. The survey also focuses the extent to which the Israeli occupation affects the daily lives of Palestinians in the West Bank to include: the economy and job creation, education, social structure, gender equality, political future and potential full statehood, among other issues. In addition, the respondents were asked a variety of questions to measure how they feel with regards to the practices of the Palestinian Authority, the Hamas/Fatah divide and its social ramifications, the approval ratings of key figures in Palestinian politics, how they see the Arab revolts, the US Foreign policy and its role in the peace process, the Boycott Divestment and Sanctions movement, the overall conditions in the Palestinian Territories, and the future of the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.
