Around two-thirds of Israelis believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should leave politics and not seek reelection, according to a new television poll.
That figure falls to 37% among voters for parties in Netanyahu’s right-religious bloc, 53% of who think Israel’s longest-serving leader should stick around, the Channel 12 news survey says.
Overall, 27% of poll respondents want him to compete in the next elections, versus 66% who say otherwise and 7% who do not know.
Some 85% of respondents also wanted a commission of inquiry to be held to investigate the failures surrounding the October 7 infiltration of Israel by Hamas.
Netanyahu is enduring intense criticism from members of Israel’s opposition, far-right members of his own coalition, and the Israeli public over his handling of Israel’s war on Gaza and captive-for-ceasefire negotiations. ( With Agencies Inputs )
