A majority of Israelis would vote for former president and Republican candidate Donald Trump if they could participate in the US elections, a Channel 12 poll finds.
According to the survey, 58 percent would vote for Trump, 25% would vote for US Vice President and Democratic candidate Kamala Harris, and 17% answered they didn’t know who they would choose.
Meanwhile, most respondents (43%) want Israeli elections to happen now, 19% want opposition party leaders Yair Lapid and Benny Gantz to enter the existing government in place of far-right ministers Itamar Ben Gvir and Bezalel Smotrich, while 28% said they would prefer the current government to continue to serve, the poll finds.
The poll also surveys respondents on who they would prefer as prime minister.
Former prime minister Naftali Bennett is the most preferred option over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, beating him 40-28%. Gantz is preferred by 34% of voters over Netanyahu’s 30%, while the current premier is preferred by 31% of the public over 29% who support Lapid.
