An overwhelming majority of 92 percent of Israelis see Iran as the winner of the latest war in the region, according to a survey. Around 83 percent were also convinced that the campaign had weakened Israel’s long-term security, as Israeli media reported on the survey by the Hebrew University in Jerusalem in collaboration with the Agam Institute.
86 percent of the 3,644 respondents aged 17 and over rated the results of the war negatively. It was a representative sample of the population; the margin of error was 2.2 percent. The survey took place between June 17th and 20th.
Furthermore, around 73 percent of those surveyed did not believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he said that Israel had achieved significant successes in the war and eliminated an existential threat. Around 88 percent of Israelis are of the opinion that the country has not achieved its goals or has only partially achieved them. According to reports, around 56 percent of those surveyed viewed Netanyahu’s conduct of the war as bad or a failure. (sda/dpa)
