Poll: Majority of Germans support immediate recognition of Palestine as a state
A poll in Germany revealed that more than half of the population supports Berlin’s immediate recognition of Palestine as a state, something their government currently rejects.
The survey, conducted by Forsa for the German International Politics magazine, showed that 54% of respondents answered “Yes” to the question, “Should Germany now recognize Palestine as a state?”
The survey results showed that only 31% of participants rejected the idea of Germany recognizing Palestine as a state.
According to the survey, the percentage of those in western German cities who want Germany to recognize Palestine as a state is 53%, while the percentage in eastern German cities is 59%.
It’s noteworthy that the German government believes that recognizing the State of Palestine is one of the final steps that must be taken on the path to achieving a two-state solution.
