Majorities of Israelis oppose granting Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu a presidential pardon in his criminal trial…according to a new survey conducted for Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site, this week.
In response to the question, “Do you support or oppose Netanyahu’s request for a presidential pardon without admitting guilt or expressing remorse?” 53.2 percent of respondents said they oppose it, while 42.4% said they support it, and 4.4% said they don’t know.
On the issue of ultra-Orthodox draft exemptions, the respondents were asked if they support or oppose the law proposed by MK Boaz Bismuth: 53.8% said they oppose the law in any case, 24.8% said they support it in any case, 13.8% said they would support it only if changes were made, and 7.6% said they don’t know.
Meanwhile, a TV poll showed the opposition ticking up in popularity for the first time in over a month, although no bloc would be able to form a government if elections were held today, without including at least one Arab party.
Voters prefer PM to Bennett, but ‘none of the above’ gains ground…
…Asked, “What do you think Israel should do about the escalation in the north?” – referring to tensions with the Hezbollah terror group, a year after a ceasefire was reached on that front that has nevertheless seen daily airstrikes against terror operatives – 45% of respondents called for a broad operation against the Iran-backed group, while 38% said Israel should try to calm things down diplomatically. The remaining 17% said they didn’t know.
The poll was conducted by phone and online on December 4 by Manu Geva’s Midgam firm. It surveyed 500 people, representative of Israel’s above-18 population. The margin of error is 4.4%.

Does that make them anti-Semite?
New poll reveals that 99% of all polls are agenda-driven crapola.
IMHO, Netanyahu is like a lot of powerful, rich, and famous people. It went to his head.
Netanyahu won’t end the war unless he gets a pardon. That’s the reason Trump was pushing for one.
Times of Israel is so left wing it hurts. They are right there with Haaretz. So why not have a left wing poll to further their attempt to get rid of Netanyahu without the trouble of a ballot?
“Voters prefer PM to Bennett...”
Decoder: An attack piece from the left.
Bibi does need to find a qualified replacement as its close to the time for him to step aside and enjoy retirement.
Agreed.
Its like Trump taking advice from the LA Times.

****************************
I’m surprised that number is so high. I thought there was a lot of resentment about the ultra Orthodox not being subject to the draft.
These people are committing suicide.
Does Israel have fake polls like America?
It does to Ben Shapiro and Mark Levin.
I’ve been a big fan of Netanyahu since the 1980s but he’s been on the political stage too long and it’s starting to show.
Absolutely not. The Times is way to the right of Ha’aretz. (I read both and other Israeli sources.)
B.S.
Israelis have always been cutthroat in their politics. (Way before ours became so.)
Too many Parties.
The Israli Lext hates Netenyahu because he, somewhat, de- Socalized Israel.
Now that the war is “over” (we all know its just at a pause, as soon as Hamas has enough control they will just do it again) it’s hard to see Bibi surviving.
The utter failings that let Oct 7 happen in the first place will now fall fully on his head.
We shall see, but history has a pattern.. we’ll see if it is repeated.
The leftists HATE the very people who are saving them from Islam.
re. the NYT - check out their “coverage” of the Holocaust.
It is similar to how they covered “the steal”.
