</span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">This is the clear conclusion drawn from the latest public opinion survey conducted under the auspices of the Harry S.Truman Research Institute for the Advancement of Peace at the Hebrew University of Jerusalem and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research. </span></span></p><p><span style="font-size:14px"><span style="font-family:arial,helvetica,sans-serif">The March joint Israeli Palestinian poll focused on the main political outlines for a final
