Abstract
Subject Palestinian Christians tend to support a two-state solution. Significance Although Palestinian Christians comprise only about 2% of the population in both the West Bank and Israel, their views on the Arab-Israeli peace process are significant. They have higher rates of education than other communities and are overrepresented among Palestinian leadership. Impacts The issue of Christian service in the Israeli army may in the long term become a source of domestic political controversy. Concern over the economic consequences of a major flare-up in violence would limit Palestinian Christian support for any third intifada. Israeli Arab Christian voting turnout is lower than for the Arab population as a whole, which could undercut their political impact. The local influence of Palestinian Christian 'personalities' may be enhanced by their perceived influence in the West.
