A Channel 13 poll finds that only 22 percent of respondents expressed trust in the government, while 75% said they have confidence in the Israel Defense Forces.
Public trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu stands at just 29%, while 47% express confidence in IDF Chief of Staff Lt. Gen. Herzi Halevi. Confidence in the abilities of Defense Minister Israel Katz stands at just 24%.
Pollsters also asked respondents how they define victory in the war against Hamas in the Gaza Strip — 68% say it will only be achieved with the return of all the hostages, 12% say it will see the annexation of Gaza and the imposition of Israeli sovereignty over the Strip, 4% say border residents returning to their homes will be the definition of victory, 8% say it will see the establishment of a moderate Palestinian leadership in Gaza other than Hamas, and 8% say they don’t know.
