Israeli public trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, his government, and the military has sharply declined, according to an opinion poll reported by Anadolu on Sunday.

A survey by the Tel Aviv-based Institute for National Security Studies revealed that 76% of Israelis have lost trust in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s government. The poll showed that public trust in the government fell from 30% to 23% during "Israel’s" 12-day war on Iran that began on June 13, with trust in Netanyahu himself declining from 35% to 30%.

The poll also revealed that the war on Iran eroded public trust in the Israeli army, with confidence dropping from 83% to 77%, while faith in Army Chief of Staff Eyal Zamir declined from 69% to 62% and trust in the army spokesperson fell from 63% to 56.5%.

The survey revealed that only 53% of Israelis believe the army’s main goals of ending Hamas rule and bringing back captives have been completely or mostly achieved, while 28% do not believe Netanyahu's promise of victory in the Gaza Strip is possible at all.

According to the poll findings, 42% of Israeli settlers see no chance of their entity's war goals being accomplished, whether partially or in full.

The survey revealed that 61% of Israelis view the army’s current strategy in Gaza as ineffective in facilitating the return of captives from the enclave, while merely 20.5% believe the existing policy contributes to Hamas’ elimination, and just 25.5% consider the current approach successful in both eliminating Hamas and securing the captives’ return.

The poll further highlighted deep divisions within Israeli society regarding the unsuccessful ceasefire and prisoner swap negotiations in Gaza, revealing that 52% of respondents attribute responsibility to the government either fully or partially for the deadlock.
