Knesset Jeremy Analysis: Bennett up, Netanyahu down. Prime Minister always goes down when he decides not to take action.
Additional Questions:
How should Israel react to Hamas in Gaza in response to murder of boys and escalation in the south?
62% Attack targets from the air
23% Ground attack in the strip
6% Restraint
Do you approve or not approve of the conduct of each one of the responsible factors during the events of the kidnapping?
Prime Minister Netanyahu: Approve 44%, Do not approve 51%
IDF (army): Approve 76%, Do not approve 19%
Shabak (shin bet): Approve 70%, Do not approve 21%
Police: Approve 13%, Do not approve 84%
Should an Investigative Committee be formed to investigate the conduct of the police surrounding the event of the boys abduction?
81% Yes, 14% No.
Should the Police Commishiner resign due to the conduct the police during the event of the boys abduction?
39% Yes, 45% No.
this poll is apparently done (again!) with threshold 2% – kind of disturbing.
Great numbers for Bennett – let’s hope that they hold up.
Taken in the aggregate one can speculate that there is real polarization on both right and left. Shas voters turning to BY; Yesh Atid and Livni voters turning to Meretz and Labor. The Arab parties might consolidate for the election as might parties in the center making threshold issue moot. The left-right stalemate might be broken following public reaction to situation on the ground and air in next few weeks.
