A majority of Israelis are in favor of the controversial nation-state law, which has come under criticism as being potentially discriminatory against non-Jews in the country, according to a new poll.
The Walla survey finds that 58 percent of the public support the law, and only 34% oppose it.
Among voters of right-wing parties, support soars to 85%, while 75% of left-wing voters oppose it.
Despite supporting the law, a majority of Israelis (54%) also affirm that there is merit the grievances of the Druze community against the law, as opposed to 23% who oppose the Druze campaign.
The poll was conducted online among 532 respondents.
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
