New polls show overwhelming public support for a broad military campaign in Judea and Samaria, while a majority believes delegitimization of Jewish cities encourages 'Palestinian' terror attacks against Israelis.


A series of polls examine public opinion on four major issues dominating Israel’s agenda: the summit between Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and President Donald Trump, funding flights for overseas Israelis to vote in the upcoming elections, the need for a broad operation against terror hubs in Judea and Samaria, and claims that delegitimization campaigns against outpost residents encourage terrorism against them.

On the Netanyahu-Trump summit held Tuesday, 40% of respondents called it a success, 21% considered it a failure, and 39% said they didn’t know.

When asked whether political entities funding flights from abroad for Israelis to come vote in the elections constitutes election bribery, 57% said yes, 36% said no, and 7% had no position.

On the security question, 83% of respondents believe the IDF should advance a broad operation against terror hubs in Judea and Samaria. By contrast, 11% opposed such action and 6% had no position.

In another question addressing the claim that delegitimization campaigns against outpost and farm residents in Judea and Samaria encourage terrorism against them, 56% of respondents said they believe this is true, 32% disagreed, and 12% had no position.
