An opinion poll in Israel showed the majority of Israelis will not vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or any party that backs him in upcoming elections, Israeli media reported Friday.
The poll conducted by Channel 12 found that 62% of voters will not cast their ballots for a party that supports Netanyahu to continue as the leader of Israel.
The poll showed just 19% would vote for a party that supports Netanyahu, while 19% of other respondents said they do not know.
The results also indicated that 30% of those who currently classify themselves as voters within Netanyahu's bloc said they will not vote for a party that supports Netanyahu to continue as prime minister.
Since the start of the Israeli devastating onslaught against the Gaza Strip on Oct. 7, Israeli opposition along with families of Israeli captives held in Gaza have been staging protests to show dissatisfaction about his conduct with cease-fire negotiations.
Netanyahu also met public opposition with his controversial judicial overhaul plan that limits the power of the judiciary.
Meanwhile, at least 36,801 Palestinians have been killed in Israel’s ongoing offensive on the Gaza Strip since last October, the Health Ministry in the besieged enclave said on Saturday.
A ministry statement added that 83,680 other people have also been injured in the onslaught.
“Israeli attacks killed 70 people and injured 150 others in the last 24 hours,” the statement said.
“Many people are still trapped under rubble and on the roads as rescuers are unable to reach them,” it added.
Israel has continued its brutal offensive on Gaza despite a UN Security Council resolution demanding an immediate cease-fire.
Eight months into the Israeli war, vast tracts of Gaza lay in ruins amid a crippling blockade of food, clean water, and medicine.
Israel stands accused of genocide at the International Court of Justice, whose latest ruling ordered Tel Aviv to immediately halt its operation in the southern city of Rafah, where over a million Palestinians had sought refuge. Anadolu
