JERUSALEM: Most Jewish citizens of Israel support discrimination against Palestinians, a new poll has found, with 69 per cent advocating preference for Jews over Arabs in government jobs and 74 per cent in favour of segregated roads in the West Bank.

Three months before Israel's elections, which the right-wing Likud party of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is expected to win comfortably, the poll highlights growing concerns that peace talks have stalled irretrievably and a two-state solution is no longer viable.

More than two-thirds of the 503 Jewish citizens questioned by the polling company Dialog said they would oppose voting rights for the 2.5 million Palestinians living in the West Bank if it was annexed to Israel.

However, a plurality — 48 per cent — opposed annexation altogether, while 38 per cent supported it and 14 per cent abstained.
