Meanwhile, 66 percent of the respondents said the Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, correctly manages the Israeli-American relations compared to 21 percent who did not agree and 13 percent who said they did not know.

The paper did not mention the number of respondents who participated in the poll or the date it was conducted.

The Palestinians have already rejected the deal saying that it excludes Jerusalem and the refugees issue from the solution and allows Israel to control large areas in the West Bank and gives it absolute security control
