Poll: 62% of Israelis believe government has lost public’s confidence, majority back some form of hostage deal

Only 27% respondents answer that the government has the confidence of the majority of the population, and 11% answer that they didn’t know.

Measuring support for a hostage deal, the survey finds that 26% of respondents believe that the government needs to sign a deal immediately, even if it only brings back some of the hostages, due to their deteriorating state in captivity.

Forty-six percent answer that the government should sign a comprehensive deal that ends the war in Gaza, while 18% oppose a deal, believing that the military should continue fighting Hamas even at the risk to the lives of the hostages.
