Israelis back police in secret dossier on MKs — poll

A Knesset Channel poll finds Israelis are largely unconcerned about a secret police document, leaked this week, that reportedly contains suspicions of criminal conduct by dozens of Knesset members.

Some 65 percent of respondents say it’s “not problematic” for police to be compiling the sensitive information on public servants (26% say it is), and 61% say police don’t need to publicize the names of the lawmakers listed in the dossier.
