Berlin - Saba:
A public opinion poll in Germany has revealed that more than half of the population supports Berlin's immediate recognition of Palestine as a state — a move currently opposed by the German government.
The poll was conducted by the Forsa Institute on behalf of the German magazine Internationale Politik (International Politics), and showed that 54% of respondents answered “yes” to the question: “Should Germany now recognize Palestine as a state?”
The results also showed that only 31% of participants rejected the idea of Germany recognizing Palestine as a state.
According to the poll, support for recognizing Palestine as a state stood at 53% in western German cities, while the percentage rose to 59% in eastern cities.
