Majority of Israelis dissatisfied with Netanyahu’s performance in war on Gaza
JERUSALEM (AA) – A recent poll has revealed that 65% of Israelis are dissatisfied with the performance of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu vis-à-vis the war on Gaza.
The survey conducted by the Israeli Kantar Institute included 756 people and showed that 63% expressed satisfaction with the performance of Defense Minister Yuval Gantz in the conflict.
According to the survey, only 25% of Israelis wanted Netanyahu to stay in office as the prime minister.
If general elections were held today, the poll suggests, Gantz’s National Unity Party would secure 33 seats in the 120-member Knesset. In comparison, Netanyahu’s Likud Party would secure 20 seats.
According to another poll published on Jan. 2 by the Israeli newspaper Maariv, 48% of Israelis preferred Gantz as prime minister, while only 34% believed that Netanyahu was suitable for his position.
Israel has killed more than 23,000 Palestinians and injured 58,416 in air and ground attacks on the Gaza Strip since October 7, according to Gaza’s health authorities, while nearly 1,140 Israelis are believed to have died in the Hamas attack.
The Israeli onslaught has left Gaza in ruins, with 60% of the enclave’s infrastructure damaged or destroyed, and nearly 2 million residents displaced amid acute shortages of food, clean water, and medicines.
