Nearly half of Israelis are opposed to an “immediate” military ground invasion of the Gaza Strip, according to a survey published today that was cited by the daily newspaper Maariv.
According to the poll by the Panel4All institute, 49 percent of respondents say it would be better to “wait” before launching a ground offensive on the Palestinian territory.
Just 29% of respondents say the offensive should start “immediately”.
The poll was carried out on October 25 and 26 with 522 people questioned for the survey in the country of approximately 10 million.
Last week, 65% of those surveyed by the same institute said that they supported a military invasion of the Gaza Strip, according to Maariv. However, that survey did not specify the timing of the operation.
