Poll: 44% of Israelis ‘Pessimistic’ About Israel’s Future

A public opinion poll showed that Israelis are divided between optimists and pessimists about the future of the “state of Israel”, with the remarkable pessimism rate earmarked at 44 percent.

The Israeli Maariv newspaper showed, Wednesday, that: The Israeli people are divided as 50 percent show optimism about Israel’s future while 44 percent said they are pessimistic, and 6 percent said they do not know.

The newspaper added: “There is a clear difference between the voters of the coalition parties (ruling party), with the vast majority (79 percent) saying they are optimistic about Israel’s future, and the voters of the opposition and Arab parties, most of whom are pessimistic (63 percent of opposition voters and 68 percent of Arab party voters),” according to Anadolu.

The newspaper stated the poll was carried out by the Lazar Research Institute without clarification regarding the nature of the sample, date in which it was made, and the margin of error.

These results come at a time when Israel is facing unprecedented economic, social, and political crises since its establishment in 1948 on occupied Palestinian lands.

Since 7 October, 2023, Israel has been waging the longest war of extermination in its history on the Gaza Strip, resulting in more than 153,000 Palestinian deaths and injuries, most of them children and women, and more than 11,000 missing.

In parallel with economic difficulties and severe societal divisions, pressure has been mounting for more than a year for the government headed by Benjamin Netanyahu to resign due to its failure since 7 October, 2023.

According to the testimonies, as IDF soldiers leave Lebanon, they load stolen items onto their vehicles openly, without attempting to conceal them. “It’s on a crazy scale,” one soldier said. “Anyone who takes something – televisions, cigarettes, tools, whatever – immediately puts it in their vehicle or leaves it off to the side, not inside the army base, but it’s not hidden. Everyone sees it and understands.” – The Palestine Project
