As reported by Arutz 7, Dr. Khalil Shikaki and the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research (PSR) conducted a new poll showing that the number of Palestinian Arabs in Judea, Samaria, and Gaza who are contemplating emigration is on the rise.

The survey revealed that 31% of Gazans and 21% in Palestinian-controlled areas of Judea and Samaria are considering leaving Israel. Among the 18-29 age group, 28% in PA-controlled areas and 44% in Gaza expressed a desire to emigrate.

In contrast, only 17% of those aged 30 and over in PA-controlled areas and 23% in Gaza wanted to leave. The results also showed a higher interest in emigration among men than women.
