Israelis On Unilateral Gaza Withdrawal

Colin Powell's statement that "the Likud party didn't vote for it. But when we look at the Israeli public, there's an 80 percent approval rating for" the Sharon plan, is directly contradicted by a poll for Maariv.

According the poll, which included Arab citizens of Israel, 54 percent support the Sharon plan, while 35 percent are opposed, with the rest undecided.
