Most Palestinians Support West Bank Armed Groups but Don’t Back Hamas

Gliding through the maze of the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is challenging even in normal times.

Dr. Khalil Shikaki, pollster and founder of the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research, shared his views in an in-depth interview with The Media Line’s Felice Friedson and Giorgia Valente.
