Palestinians are increasingly disillusioned with political parties and their new unity government and feel more threatened by growing lawlessness, according to a poll released Sunday.

The survey was conducted by the independent polling company Neareast Consulting among 800 respondents and had an error margin of 3.45 percentage points. More than half, or 53 percent, said they don’t expect the new Hamas-Fatah coalition, set up in March, to be able to lift international sanctions on the Palestinian Authority. (AP)
