(ANSAmed) - TEL AVIV, JUNE 4 - The prevailing reaction of Israelis to US President Barack Obama is one of mistrust, feeling that he is biased in favour of the Palestinian cause, shows a survey conducted before the president's open speech to the Muslim world, delivered in Cairo today. According to the survey, conducted by two institutes in the University of Tel Aviv and published today by online press agency Ynet, 60% of the Israeli population do not trust that Obama is able to guarantee the security of the state of Israel. 55% find that his policies favour the Palestinians, as against 31% who adjudge him neutral and a pitiful 5% who think of him as pro-Israel in continuity with the traditional orientation of previous US administrations. At the same time, 65% find the outcome of the recent summit held between Obama and Israeli Premier Benyamin Netanyahu to have been a failure, although 56% are persuaded that Netanyahu has behaved in a balanced way. As for the peace process, 67% recognise that peace with the Palestinians will come only through a 'two states for two peoples' formula. The sample was divided, however, on the settlement issue: with 48% finding their existence against Israeli interests while for 43% find them justified.(ANSAmed).
