Majority of Israelis Believe Netanyahu Should Resign Following October 7 Attack
Survey Reveals 62% Hold Netanyahu Responsible for Security Failures, While Doubts Remain About Gaza Ceasefire Implementation
Watan-A survey showed that 62% of Israelis believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign due to his responsibility for failing to prevent the October 7, 2023, attack, while only 28% believe that the prisoner exchange agreement and the Gaza ceasefire will be fully implemented.
The Israeli newspaper Maariv reported today, Friday, that 62% think Netanyahu should resign, compared to 29% who opposed this stance, and 19% who did not express an opinion.
The newspaper added that 93% of opposition voters support Netanyahu’s resignation, compared to only 31% of voters from government-affiliated parties.
It is noteworthy, the newspaper highlighted, that 18% of Likud voters (Netanyahu’s party) themselves believe he should step down due to his responsibility for the failure.
On October 7, 2023, the Islamic Resistance Movement (Hamas) launched a surprise attack on 11 military bases and 22 settlements adjacent to the Gaza Strip, resulting in the killing and injury of hundreds of Israelis and the capture of dozens.
