Almost half of Israelis do not want the invasion of Gauze cites a poll conducted in Israelwith only 3 in 10 supporting the army raid ordered by Benjamin Netanyahu.
THE Haaretz states that the poll was conducted by Maariv newspaper and 49% clarified that “it would be better to wait” and only 29% agreed with the invasionthe moment the 22% stated that they are neutral.
The newspaper reported that the results they contradict the October 19 poll who found it 65% support for a major ground attack.
“From an analysis of the responses, it appears that there is no division according to political camp or demographics, and that it is almost certain that the developments in the hostage issue, now at the top of the agenda, had a large impact on this shift in opinion”, wrote the newspaper commenting on the result.
It is noted that in Israel there is strong criticism of Benjamin Netanyahu for his handling, with many pointing to him as responsible for the Hamas attack. At the same time, the people of Israel are not only concerned about the hostages, but they are making it clear that they do not want to see coffins of their dead soldiers returning from Gaza.
Analysts say the Israeli prime minister has since found himself in a major dilemma because he has built his political career on opposing the Palestinians. If he attacks and wins, he will remain a powerful political actor, but if he does nothing, let alone record heavy losses, then he will face a difficult situation for himself.
“We are expanding land operations”
Earlier, Israel’s military announced that it was expanding operations in the Gaza Strip, with new attacks.
The army spokesman said that Israeli forces “they are prepared on all fronts to safeguard Israel’s security». He added that Israel considers it a “national duty” to return the hostages held by Hamas in Gaza.
The strikes on Gaza have increased ‘significantly’ and they will continue, added Vice Admiral Daniel Hagari. “We will continue to hit Gaza City and its surroundings,” he said in a televised announcement. There is heavy shelling in the northern Gaza Strip that started at around 19:00 (Greece and local time).
