Noting that the IDF has called 2009 “a particularly quiet year in security terms,” the poll asked Israelis who they believed was responsible for the quiet. A majority of Jews (54%) said it was the result of the actions of Israeli security forces, while just 19% gave the majority of the credit to the Palestinian leadership. Among Israeli Arabs, however, a “prevailing assessment” (49%) said it was due to the decision of the Palestinian leadership to lessen the violence, while only 19.5% gave Israeli security forces most of the credit.
The “War and Peace Index” is funded by the Evans Program for Conflict Resolution Research of Tel Aviv University. It is considered an important ongoing barometer of Israelis’ opinions on issues affecting the peace process and the conflict in the region. It has been ongoing since 1993.
