Israelis polled on perceptions of Netanyahu and hostage deal
Alongside these figures on Netanyahu, the poll also highlighted strong public support for a hostage deal despite some controversial terms that have been raised in light of the most recent negotiations between Israel and Hamas.
The poll also addressed Israeli public perceptions regarding responsibility for the October 7 attacks.
Nearly 40% of respondents hold Netanyahu primarily responsible for mishandling the situation.
