An “Israeli” public opinion poll revealed widespread dissatisfaction with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's government, with the majority supporting the resignation of the “Israeli” military's Chief of Staff and the “Shin Bet” head.

A public opinion poll indicated that 64% of “Israelis” are dissatisfied with the performance of Netanyahu's cabinet and that the premier's Likud party has experienced a slight decline in support compared to the previous poll.

The survey, conducted online by Kan Channel to mark two years since the formation of the “Israeli” government, revealed that 46% believe that the “Israeli” military's Chief of Staff Herzi Halevi and Shin Bet Chief Ronen Bar should resign from their positions.

A couple of weeks ago, “Israeli” media reported that Halevi is expected to step down by the end of February 2025.

Regarding mandatory conscription in the “Israeli” military, 68% supported imposing mandatory service on all “Israelis”, including the ultra-Orthodox community.

Meanwhile, 17% favored maintaining the current system, which exempts the ultra-Orthodox.

On the potential dismissal of the government's legal advisor, Gali Baharav-Miara, 38% of respondents supported her removal, while 41% opposed it.

When asked about opening a criminal investigation against Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s wife, Sara Netanyahu, on suspicion of witness harassment following revelations aired in the Uvda program, 54% of respondents said "yes," 23% said "no," and 23% were uncertain.

Furthermore, the poll found that 77% of respondents supported forming an official inquiry committee into the events of October 7, and 70% favored holding general elections after the war concludes.

Earlier in December, Netanyahu's ruling coalition downed a proposal in the Knesset to establish an official inquiry committee into "Israel's" October 7 failures.
