A survey of Arabs with Israeli citizenship shows they are firmly opposed to any concessions by the Arab side in the Israel-PA negotiations. According to a survey by the Mada el-Karmel Arab Center for Applied Social Research, 81% of Israeli Arabs oppose the idea of the PA compromising with Israel on the subject of Jerusalem.
65.6% said that the PA may not recognize Israel as a Jewish state. 78.9% said the PA must not give up what is known as "the right of return" – the right to force Israel to accept a large influx of Arabs into its territory.
