Most Israelis think that terror will not decrease if the government dismantles 25 communities in northern Samaria and Gush Katif, according to a Zionist Organization of America poll released Wednesday.

The survey, conducted by the prominent polling firm Smith Institute, also reveals that if elections were held today, the Likud and nationalist parties would decidedly defeat the current opposition.

More than one-third of the respondents said terrorism, including rocket attacks, would increase if the government carries out its plan. Less than one-quarter thought there would be a decrease, and the rest replied there would be no change.

On the question of international opinion, only 28 per cent of those polled said that disengagement would make Israel more able to resist international pressure, while almost the same percentage replied that Israel would be less able to stand up against such pressure.
