A clear majority (70%) of Israelis support Israel joining a hypothetical US attack on Iran, a poll released by Maariv revealed on Friday.
The responses were divided into those who support Israel joining the attack only if Iran first attacked or was prepared to attack Israel (29%) and those who would support Israel's participation regardless of Iranian actions (44%).
Only 19% believed that an attack should be left to the US alone.
The poll also revealed a 46% split between those who were afraid of personal harm from a military conflict with Iran and those who were not.
A question was also asked in the poll about the Supreme Court's recent involvement in National Security Minister Itamar Ben-Gvir's potential dismissal. 44% of respondents believed the court system should not be involved in ministerial elections, while only 33% believed it was appropriate.
Low movement in coalition support amidst Iran tensions
As tensions with Iran rose this week, there was relatively little change in coalition support among respondents.
The Likud party was reduced by one seat to 26, while Otzma Yehudit increased to 10.
In the opposition, both Gadi Eisenkot's Yashar and Yesh Atid went up in their number of seats, to 11 and 9, respectively.
Support for Ra'am declined after a prolonged stable period, from 5 seats to 4.
Parties failing to cross the threshold were Blue and White (2.3%), the Religious Zionist Party (2.6%), Balad (2.1%), and the Reservists' List (2.6%).
In total, the poll revealed that Netanyahu's coalition holds 51 seats, while the opposition would hold 60, on the cusp of a coalition majority.
The poll, conducted January 14–15, surveyed 501 respondents representing Israel’s adult population, Jewish and Arab, with a maximum sampling error of ±4.4%. Findings were reported by Maariv and compiled by Lazar Research, led by Dr. Menachem Lazar, in cooperation with Panel4All.
