Israelis Support Immediate Pullout
Almost two-thirds of Israel’s Jewish population favors a full, immediate military withdrawal from Lebanon, the independent newspaper Maariv said in a poll published Tuesday.
It showed that only 1.7% favor staying in Lebanon for the foreseeable future. In January, Maariv said, 22% favored staying or until obtaining peace with Syria or Lebanon.
In the new survey, 63.3% of those polled favored a complete withdrawal immediately, 15.3% backed a phased pullout and 16.8% said the withdrawal deadline should depend on security in the area.
