Polls show sharp rise in support for Netanyahu amid Iran tensions
Two polls released today show a substantial rise in support for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s Likud party following US President Donald Trump’s announcement of his withdrawal from the Iran nuclear deal, and heightened concerns that Tehran may launch an attack against Israel.
A survey conducted for Hadashot news gives Netanyahu’s Likud party 35 seats, while a partially released survey for Army Radio shows his party winning 42 seats, which would be the party’s best result since 1981.
Both polls show a huge jump for the Likud, which currently hold 30 seats in 120-seat Knesset.
