  "summary": "A recent poll conducted by the Institute for National Security Studies (INSS) reveals that more than 40% of West Bank Palestinians believe Israel does not have a right to exist, with 46% holding this view compared to 41% who believe it does. The survey of 400 Palestinians, conducted between June 27 and July 2, 2026, also found that 42% think it possible to end Israel's existence, while 32% believe it is impossible. Majority support for a two-state solution (27%) was observed, with a smaller percentage (22%) favoring a single binational state and 26% preferring a Palestinian state without Jewish presence. Despite a significant portion not recognizing Israel's right to exist, 52% of respondents still prefer negotiations to end the conflict, with only 12% favoring armed resistance.",
