A little more than 47% of English-speakers living in Israel said they support Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's plan to apply sovereignty to large parts of Judea and Samaria and the Jordan Valley, an i24NEWS poll revealed on Monday.

Some 31% of the respondents said they oppose the plan, while 21% answered they "don't know."

As for the French-speakers living in Israel, a staggering 90% said they supported the plan while only 6% opposed it, according to a survey conducted for i24EWS by Shlomo Filber and Tzuriel Sharon through Direct Polls on May 24.

The poll surveyed 464 Israelis, English or French speakers, aged 18-years and over.

Israel's annexation plan, as well as the White House's support for it, has been lambasted by the Palestinian Authority, which ordered its security forces to suspend security coordination with Israel, as well as by the EU and UN, with both warning annexation could be the final nail in the coffin of the regional peace proceeds, moribund since 2014.

In recent years, the population of the French Jewish community has grown in the Jewish state, following large waves of immigration to the country. While the reasons for the increase in numbers vary, many Jews have decided to leave France due to growing concerns over anti-Semitism.

The Israeli French-speakers are culturally known to lean more to the right than Jewish immigrants coming from the Anglo-Saxon nations.

Earlier on Monday, Netanyahu reiterated his intention to apply sovereignty over areas in the West Bank, vowing to implement the plan in July.
