Trust in the Israeli Police is in decline, according to research by the Israel Democracy Institute. Trust hit a record low during protests against the government's attempted judicial reform in June 2023, with only 35% of Israeli Jews reporting trust in the police. Trust spiked to 59% after the October 7, 2023, Hamas attack on Israel. Trust in the police has also fallen among Arab society and varies significantly based on political affiliation, with historic lows in trust among those on the Left.
