A poll released by the Israel Democracy Institute today (Tuesday) and conducted in March 18-21 shows most Israelis give high marks to IDF Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi, Defense Minister Yoav Gallant, and Minister Benny Gantz. Meanwhile, only rightwing Israelis believe Prime Minister Netanyahu has done well in significant numbers.
The poll also shows that about half of Israeli Jews want Israel to wage war solely in accordance with its own leadership's judgment, while about forty percent believe war should be waged in coordination with the United States.
In addition, about eighty percent of Israeli Jews believe the question of Palestinian civilian suffering should either not matter at all in Israel's conduct of the war or should only matter somewhat.
