==Public opinion== [[File:No to the annexation 005.jpg|thumb|Demonstration against Israeli annexation of the West Bank, [[Rabin Square]], [[Tel Aviv-Yafo]], June 6, 2020]] A multi-option poll<!-- A poll of whom? How sampled? --> by Near East Consulting (NEC) in November 2007 found the bi-national state to be less popular than either "two states for two people" or "a Palestinian state on all historic Palestine" with only 13.4% of respondents supporting a binational solution.<ref name=nec2007>{{cite web |url=http://www.neareastconsulting.com/surveys/all/p211/out_freq_q21.php/|title=NEC poll |year=2007 |work=NEC General Monthly Survey |publisher=Near East Consulting |access-date=25 January 2011}}</ref> However, in February 2007, NEC found that around 70% of Palestinian respondents backed the idea when given a straight choice of either supporting or opposing "a one-state solution in historic Palestine where Muslims, Christians and Jews have equal rights and responsibilities".<ref name=necf2007>{{cite web |url=http://www.neareastconsulting.com/surveys/ppp/p22/out_freq_q27.php/|title=NEC poll 2 |year=2007 |work=NEC General Monthly Survey |publisher=Near East Consulting |access-date=25 January 2011}}</ref> In March 2010, a survey by the Palestinian Center for Policy and Survey Research and the Harry S.
