The Israeli war on Gaza has been very costly for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, as the majority of settlers say they would not vote for him.

An opinion poll conducted by Israeli Channel 12 reveals a significant shift in the Israeli political landscape, with a majority of Israelis indicating they would not vote for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu or any party that supports him in the forthcoming elections.

The survey, whose results were reported on Friday, shows that 62% of voters are unwilling to cast their ballots for a party that backs Netanyahu to continue as the Israeli occupation's premier. In contrast, only 19% expressed support for parties endorsing Netanyahu, while another 19% of respondents remained undecided.

Remarkably, the poll also highlights notable dissent within Netanyahu's own bloc. About 30% of those who currently identify as voters within his support base stated they would not vote for a party that wants Netanyahu to stay in office.

This comes as Netanyahu continues backing the war on Gaza, which has mired the Israeli occupation in numerous crises, most notably financial ones. One key issue, moreover, is the Israeli occupation's continued refusal of a ceasefire in Gaza as its occupation forces kill more Israeli captives, leading to mass rallies throughout occupied Palestine denouncing the premier and his war cabinet.

Netanyahu has also faced substantial backlash for his controversial judicial overhaul plan, which seeks to limit the power of the judiciary. This plan was met with strong resistance from various segments of the settler Israeli society, further fueling protests and opposition to his leadership.

According to Israeli Reserve Major General and military analyst Yitzhak Brik, the Israeli government is leading settlers into the abyss, once again stressing that the leaders of the Israeli regime were sacrificing the settler colonial project for their own personal gains.

"Every day the war continues, our situation worsens," he said, decrying that both the IOF and the Israeli occupation in and of itself were heading toward internal collapse. 

He underlined that the only solution at this time was for the cabinet to declare a ceasefire and realize that they could not bring back the Israeli captives through violence.

Brik had no one else but the war cabinet to blame for this, seeing as they are responsible for the management of the Israeli entity at such times, condemning the body by saying that its members had "only one daily goal", which was to continue the war no matter the cost so long as it safeguards their political positions. 

"They must be stopped. They are leading the people of Israel like sheep to the slaughter," he said, reiterating that they did not care about the Israeli occupation itself but rather their own ranks within it.

Moreover, in an article published by Maariv, Israeli political writer Ben Caspit points out that "Netanyahu has long become a burden on Israel," stressing that "he must vacate his position."

Caspit pointed out that "this is what the British did to Neville Chamberlain (former British Prime Minister) in the middle of World War II," adding that "they did so, because there was no choice. They didn't do it because they liked Churchill. They did it because Chamberlain failed, dragged Britain from one disgrace to another, and built a bankrupt concept." 

According to Caspit, "The only thing that could drive Netanyahu crazy and enter Rafah in full force now is the arrest warrants that the International Criminal Court in The Hague is threatening to issue against him."
