JERUSALEM — Most Israelis favor territorial concessions in the occupied West Bank and Gaza Strip, where Palestinians have been in revolt for 42 months, according to an opinion poll published Friday.

According to the poll, published in the daily newspaper Yediot Aharonot, 69% would give up some part of the West Bank, 78% would give up the Gaza Strip, 96% would retain East Jerusalem and 87% would retain the Golan Heights.
