Netanyahu claims victory over Iran – but the poll shows that many Israelis do not trust him

In March, when he turned his back on the ceasefire that was achieving results, the Israeli Prime Minister made a decision that some commentators described as “political suicide.”

The ceasefire deal in Gaza, in which the Donald Trump Steve’s envoy mediated even before the American president opened in his second term, led to the release of dozens of hostages from Hamas families, compared to hundreds of Palestinian prisoners from Israeli prisons.

The next stage was scheduled to see more hostages to the house and a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli forces from Gaza, before the end of negotiating the war.

I am tired of conflict, Israelis and Palestinians who thought at the end of the most destructive war in a common history often interspersed with fighting.

But Benjamin Netanyahu does not want the war to end.

When the attacks were resumed throughout Gaza, the Prime Minister announced that the fighting would continue until Hamas was completely destroyed. “

It seems that the safe return of the remaining hostages in Gaza was secondary. (Civil consequences in Gaza themselves did not deserve a male).

Many Israelis, especially hostages, were angry.

They accused Netanyahu of putting his political survival before the integrity of their relatives and the benefit of the largest nation.

The popularity of “Bibi” in the polls decreased and struggled to preserve a disjointed government, supported by the extremist ministers of the right -wing religious and Orthodox religious parties.

Three months later, Netanyahu continues the glory of an amazing military victory over his enemy, Iran. He is now said to consider early elections and for another period as prime minister.

At a press conference earlier this week, the 75 -year -old, who is indeed the tallest leader in Israel, said he still has “many tasks” to complete and sought to do so as long as the “people” that Israel wants.

Later this week, and providing the supposed destruction of the Iranian nuclear program as a “window of opportunities” that “should not be missed”, Netanyahu suggested that he can only secure “hosting hostages and defeat Hamas” and then will take over wider regional agreements.

But summoning the early election will be a great danger, and according to the latest opinion polls, Netanyahu did not enjoy as a “bounce” of the 12 -day conflict with Iran as he hoped.

In a broken political system where building coalition is essential in Knesateet 120 seats, Netanyahu’s Likud party was less than the majority in itself and could struggle to combine small parties on the right, and suggests the latest polls in the MA’Ariv newspaper.

The same poll suggested a large majority, 59 % of the Israelis, who want to stop fighting in Gaza now, in exchange for the hostages.

Almost half of those who requested, about 49 %, they also believed that the only reason that Netanyahu continues war for his political considerations.

“The man is a very skilled political actor,” says Professor Tamar Hermann, an older research colleague at the Israel Democracy Institute. “There is no longer a skilled politician in Israel.”

But he says, “Trust” is a big problem for Netanyahu.

The political leader who changed it several times has no longer clinging to the power of power, simply believed by the majority of Israelis.

According to the new polling poll, it will be released soon by the Israel Democratic Institute in Israel, “The 50 % line is not crossed by Israelis who express complete or even partial confidence in it.”

Professor Hermann, in some ways, says that the decision to contact the early elections “is a greater danger (Netanyahu) from attacking Iran because in the Middle East you really don’t know where it will be in six months.”

This is because, despite his military gambling in Iran, it seems that there is an elephant in the corner of the living room in Benjamin Netanyahu.

In fact, you can say a small flock of elephants threatening to disrupt the hopes of the Prime Minister in another term in his position.

Next week, it is scheduled to witness a high -level criminal case in which he faces political corruption, including bribery and fraud.

The Prime Minister’s attempts, once again, are trying to delay the Supreme Court sessions due to his busy agenda and a special emergency (on Iran’s war) at the end of last week.

Netanyahu and his supporters have tried repeatedly and repeatedly photographing the legal issue against him as part of a “magical, politically driven” chase, but in an increasingly polarizing society, his opponents are equally determined that he must face justice.

President Trump seems to have said Netanyahu was a “great hero” and “warrior” that should be “immediately canceled” or at least, at least, he should get a pardon.

This, he remembers that the American President himself, who just a few days ago, had publicly threw the Israeli Prime Minister – with the obscene – as the Iran deal threatened to divide before it started.

But Trump’s recent intervention was described as unseen and unhelpful by many in Israel.

Opposition leader Yar Lapid said he should not “interfere in a legal process of an independent state.”

Professor Hermann says that his contradictory position on Israel and the attempt to interfere in Netanyahu’s legal case is similar to “our treatment like the Banana Republic.”

On the international theater, many Israelis accuse Netanyahu of harming Israel’s global position and economic prospects by unnecessarily prolonging the war in Gaza, although many former generals said that the Israeli defense forces (IDF) had achieved as much as possible in Gaza.

It should also not be forgotten, that the International Criminal Court still has orders against the Prime Minister – and former Defense Secretary Joe Gallant – due to the alleged war crimes and crimes against humanity in Gaza, where more than 55,000 people were killed in the Israel war against Hamas.

The government of Israel, along with Netanyahu and Callant, rejects the strength of accusations.

Ultimately, most commentators say, it will be difficult to imagine new elections that are called in Israel while the war continues in Gaza, while the Israeli hostages remain captive.

But many critics and opponents of Netanyahu have removed it before the time over the years, and they definitely learned not to guess what his next step might be.
