Majority of Israelis Skeptical of Victory Over Iran; New Polls Reveal Deep Mistrust

According to a survey by Channel 13, only 33% of Israelis believe their nation won the war, while 28% explicitly stated that Iran was the winner.

Similar polls by Channel 12 and Kan 11 showed even lower support for the victory claim, with figures dropping as low as 25%. A recurring theme across all surveys is the strong public opposition to the current fragile ceasefire, with more than half of the population preferring a continued military offensive against Tehran.

Despite Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s repeated promises of a "decisive victory" to reshape the Middle East, only 37% feel that Israel’s strategic position has improved. Analysts suggest that in this election year, these numbers represent a significant crisis of confidence in Netanyahu’s leadership and his military strategy.
