A survey released by the Jerusalem Center for Public Affairs shows a large majority of Israelis oppose Palestinian statehood, dividing Jerusalem and giving up the Jordan Valley, Israel Hayom reported on Sunday.

Respondents were asked whether the rapid spread of ISIS across the Middle East altered their position on Israeli concessions concerning Judea and Samaria. 70.1 percent of respondents answered that the surge of Islamic radicalism did not change their opinions.

However, 16.8 percent of respondents answered that because of ISIS, they are now less willing to give up land. 4.8 percent of respondents said that due to rapid changes across the Middle East, offering political concessions are now most appropriate.

Regarding supporting the establishment of a Palestinian state within the pre-1967 border, 74.3 percent responded that they oppose any Palestinian state that required full Israeli withdrawal from the Jordan Valley.
