A recent survey reveals that 87% of Israelis want Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to take responsibility and resign after the October 7 security failures. Despite public discontent, Netanyahu has continued to govern against majority interests, favoring a coalition with extremist groups. This approach has exacerbated tensions over key issues, such as negotiations with Hamas in Gaza, as the Israeli populace overwhelmingly supports a ceasefire despite his administration's actions. Netanyahu's leadership is increasingly perceived as a betrayal of the country's democratic wishes.
"A staggering 87 percent of Israelis think the prime minister should take responsibility for the events of October 7, and 73 percent want him to resign either now or after the Gaza war."
"Netanyahu has presided over the worst security failure in Israel's history but has actively governed against the will of the country's majority."
"Netanyahu is beholden to the radical minority that wants...to not only re-settle Gaza, but to do so without addressing the majority's concerns."
"He cobbled together a sectarian coalition with unpopular extremist constituencies: far-right messianic settlers and the ultra-Orthodox."
