More than half of Israelis do not believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu when he denies any wrong doing in his corruption investigation, a survey indicates.
According to Channel 2, 54 percent of Israelis do not believe the prime minister’s assertion that “there was nothing.” It says 28 percent do believe him and 18 percent don’t know.
In addition, among the general public 44 percent say he should resign, 43 percent think he should stay and 13 percent don’t know.
However, crucially for Netanyahu, the TV says that 94 percent of Likud supporters think he should stay.
