The Israeli public overwhelmingly opposes a new law meant to ban the distribution of free daily newspapers, specifically aimed at shuttering Israel Hayom, a new Israel Hayom-New Wave Research poll has found.

Of those polled, 76 percent said they opposed the new law, while only 13% said they were in favor of it.

The bill was rejected even among the vast majority of Israelis who read Yedioth Ahronoth — Israel Hayom‘s chief competitor — with 80% of those polled saying they opposed the bill. Among Israel Hayom readers, 92% said they were against the proposal.
