A majority of Israelis fear that the country will be involved in another war in the upcoming year, a survey finds.
According to the Israel Democracy Institute’s November 2025 Israeli Voice Index, 71 percent of Israelis believe that hostilities will resume with Hezbollah in Lebanon, 69% think there will be another war with Iran, and 53% think Israel will resume fighting Hamas in Gaza.
Also, 47% believe that there could be renewed conflict with the Houthi rebel group in Yemen, who fired hundreds of missiles and drones at Israel over the past two years.
The poll also finds that 59% of Israelis believe that a new uprising could erupt in the West Bank in the near future. However, that figure shows a split, with 64% of Jewish Israelis fearing an intifada, with only 36% of Arab Israelis viewing that as a possibility.
The poll finds that 55% of Israelis think the US plan to sell advanced F-35 jets to Saudi Arabia will harm Israel’s security.
The poll has a margin of error of ±3.56%.
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.
