Since that date, Israel has been engaged in wars in the Gaza Strip, Lebanon, and Iran, in addition to carrying out strikes in Yemen and Syria and military operations in the West Bank.
Public Perception of Victory
The broadcasting corporation stated: "Most Israelis believe that Israel has not emerged victorious on any front in the wars fought since October 7."
General Survey Results:
57% believe Israel has not won any war.
28% believe it has won on at least one front.
15% responded with "I don't know."
Perceived Victory by Front:
The percentage of those who believe a victory was achieved on specific fronts remains strikingly low:
Syria: 17%
Gaza & Iran: 16%
Lebanon: 14%
Yemen: 12%
West Bank: 11%
Security Concerns
Regarding future security threats, 73% of participants expressed conviction that Hamas and Hezbollah remaining armed poses a direct threat of a repeat of the October 7 attacks. Only 10% dismissed this possibility, while 17% remained uncertain.
Political and Legal Affairs
The poll also addressed the domestic political and judicial crisis:
56% support U.S. President Donald Trump exerting pressure on Israeli President Isaac Herzog to grant Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a pardon for his corruption charges.
26% oppose the need for American pressure on this matter.
18% declined to provide a specific opinion.
On November 30, Netanyahu requested a pardon from Herzog without admitting guilt or retiring from politics. Under Israeli law, a presidential pardon typically requires an admission of guilt, which Netanyahu has refused since his trial began in 2020.
Netanyahu faces charges of bribery, fraud, and breach of trust in three separate cases. Additionally, since 2024, he has been sought by the International Criminal Court (ICC) for alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza.
