Poll: PM wins on diplomacy and security, fails on social issues, integrity

A new poll shows most Israelis rate Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu highly on security and diplomatic issues, while a majority gives the premier poor grades on Israel’s social cohesion under his leadership, as well as on his personal integrity.

Sixty percent of Israelis questioned in the survey by the Israel Democracy Institute said Netanyahu’s performance on security was good; 56% approved of his security record and 50.5% said he performed well on the Iranian threat.

But 51% said he had failed on reducing societal gaps (only 22% approved) and 49% criticized his integrity (23% approved and 18% said it was middling).
