A new poll conducted by News 14 reveals that a significant majority of the Israeli public believes Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu was correct to warn about potential terror attacks by state enemies ahead of elections. The survey, released Thursday following the foiling of an attempted attack on a Flydubai plane, found that 59% of respondents agreed with Netanyahu's warning.
Conversely, 29% believed the Prime Minister was mistaken, while 12% had no opinion. The poll also indicated a strong public distrust of the opposition's motives regarding the incident. When asked whether the opposition's criticism of the government following the attempted attack was substantive or politically motivated, 58% of participants stated it was driven by political considerations.
Only 35% of those surveyed felt the opposition's reactions were substantive, with 7% remaining undecided. The remaining 7% had no opinion on the matter. The findings suggest a public perception that the opposition's critiques were primarily political rather than based on genuine concerns.
