Some two-thirds of Israelis said they distrust the US-brokered peace talks, according to a poll released on Tuesday, amid deadlock in the negotiations between Israelis and Palestinians.

Some 64 percent of Israelis do not believe that US Secretary of State John Kerry would take Israel's security needs into account as a crucial factor in the framework agreement, according to the poll which was conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University.

This distrust is shared by both Jewish and Arab citizens. Some 66 percent of Jewish Israelis and 53 percent of Arab Israelis said they don't believe that Israel's security will play an important role in the future agreement.

Israelis also doubt Kerry's motivation. Some 60 percent of Israelis believe that Kerry's main motivation for reaching a framework agreement is a personal interest in making history as a statesman where others before him had failed. Only 21 percent of Israelis believe Kerry is motivated by honest concern for the future of the two parties.

The peace talks between Israel and the Palestinians were resumed in July, under heavy pressure by the United States.

Kerry is pushing both sides to reach a framework agreement by April 29, the deadline set by the White House for the talks.

The negotiations are currently far from agreements on core issues, including the future Palestinian state's borders, security arrangements, the status of Jerusalem and the Palestinian refugees who fled their homes amid the 1948 war.

The talks have been clouded by disagreements, mainly due to Israel's construction in the West Bank settlements, on lands it occupied following the 1967 War, and its insistence on being recognized as a Jewish state by the Palestinian National Authority.
