  "summary": "A recent survey by the Pew Research Center found that most Israelis and Palestinians do not believe a two-state solution is possible. According to the survey, 17% of Israelis and 21% of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem think Israel and an independent Palestinian state can coexist peacefully.\n\nThe majority of respondents on both sides expressed pessimism about the possibility of peaceful coexistence, with 56% of Israelis and 68% of Palestinians in the West Bank and East Jerusalem saying it is not possible. The survey did not include Palestinians in the Gaza Strip due to security conditions.\n\nRespondents who rejected the possibility of peaceful coexistence cited disputes over land, decades of violence, and deep distrust as reasons. Both Israelis and Palestinians mentioned these issues, although the Jerusalem Post notes that the survey also revealed areas of overlap and divergence in how the two populations viewed the conflict.",
