An overwhelming majority of Palestinians (92%) believe the financial support provided by the EU is effective and 72% of those asked think the EU has a positive influence on socio-economic development in Palestine, according to the findings of a survey carried out in the framework of the EU-funded EU Neighbours South project.
Almost three quarters of Palestinian respondents (73%) believe the relation between the EU and their country is good while just over half (53%) consider the EU as an important partner, and 59% believe the EU brings peace and stability to the region.
While 61% of respondents replied that they were satisfied with their life, only 28% are positive about the economic situation in their country and 25% think the employment situation is good.
