During the period of 6-8 April 2006, Near East Consulting (NEC) conducted a phone survey of over 1,250 randomly selected Palestinians in the Gaza Strip, the West Bank, and Jerusalem of which 856 were successfully completed. The survey covered a variety of issues with the aim to provide an update on Palestinian perceptions. The issues include: factional trust (with a close-up of Palestinians who do not trust any faction), the system of government of their choice in Palestine, views on the international community's understanding of the Palestinian issues and the Palestinians, and perceptions of donors and the ability of Arab and Islamic countries to cover for the assistance that is expected to be cut to the Palestinian Authority.
