Nearly 70% of Israelis believe regime far from winning Gaza war: Poll
More than two-thirds of Israelis have no hope for the occupying regime winning its genocidal war on the Gaza Strip, a new survey reveals.
According to the poll published by Israel’s Channel 12 News on Friday, 68 percent of Israelis believe that the usurping entity is far from the “total victory” pledged by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in the Gaza offensive, compared to 23 percent who said Israel is close and 9 percent who were unsure.
Asked about Netanyahu’s handling of the aggression against the besieged Palestinian territory, 68 percent of respondents gave the Israeli premier a bad grade, while only 28 percent gave him a good grade and 4 percent were not sure.
Israel unleashed its brutal Gaza offensive on October 7 after the Palestinian Hamas resistance group carried out a surprise operation in retaliation for the regime’s intensified atrocities against the Palestinian people.
However, over nine months into the war, the Tel Aviv regime has failed to achieve its objectives of eliminating Hamas and finding Israeli captives in Gaza despite killing at least 87,705 Palestinians, mostly women and children, and injuring 85,523 others.
Asked why the Gaza assault has not ended yet, 54 percent of participants in the survey said it is because of Netanyahu’s political considerations, 34 percent said it is due to substantive and operational reasons and 12 were not sure.
Concerning elections in the occupied territories, 43 percent said they should be held as soon as possible, 29 percent said when the war on the Gaza Strip is over, 23 percent said when the current coalition’s term expires in October 2026 and 5 percent said they were unsure.
Asked what is most important at this time, 67 percent said returning the Israeli captives held in Gaza, while 26 percent said continuing the aggression, and 7 percent said they did not know.
Last month, Israeli military spokesperson Rear Admiral Daniel Hagari admitted that the declared aim of destroying Hamas is unattainable.
He further emphasized that it will be "impossible" to return all the Israeli captives being held in Gaza through the offensive, underlining the need for a “scenario” where they are returned in another manner.
