Nearly three-fourths of Israelis believe that Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu should resign either now or after the war and accept responsibility for his role on October 7, according to a survey from the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI). 48% of respondents say that they believe Netanyahu should accept responsibility and resign immediately, while a quarter say that he should resign after the conclusion of the Israel-Hamas war. Just 10% believe that he should not accept responsibility and should not resign. When it comes to the second phase of the ceasefire-hostage deal, around 73% support continuing the deal in order to secure the release of all the hostages, even with its steep cost, which includes a complete cessation of hostilities, withdrawal from Gaza, and the release of Palestinian prisoners. Addressing US President Donald Trump's plan for the voluntary emigration of Gaza residents, 64% believe that he has 'reinvigorated' the debate surrounding the war-torn enclave. There is a wide chasm between how Jews and Arabs view the plan - 73% of Jewish respondents believe that it has aided in bringing about a solution for ending the war, while only 23% of Arabs agree.
