A new poll from Hebrew University’s Agam Labs — the first one since the ceasefire with Iran began — shows a country mostly united on the war with Iran but divided on next steps. According to the national survey, drawing on the opinions of 1,312 Israelis, nearly two-thirds oppose the ceasefire. But 39 percent think Israel should resume strikes, 41 percent believe Israel should wait, and 19 percent are unsure.

While negotiations during the ceasefire failed to yield the results President Donald Trump had been hoping for, except to halt strikes, the battle with Hezbollah continues to rage. Israel continues to pound Hezbollah military infrastructure via air and ground operations, and Hezbollah continues to launch rockets at Israeli civilians.

Meanwhile, Israeli officials behind the scenes are preparing for a long, grinding conflict, concluding that a total defeat of Hamas, Hezbollah and Iran may be unrealistic.

But for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, the stakes couldn’t be higher. Netanyahu bet his political career on defeating Iran, an enemy he has been warning about throughout his political career. He would like to go down in history as the one who vanquished Israel’s greatest threat, but his support is slipping — down six points to 34 percent from 40 percent at the beginning of Operation Roaring Lion.

Despite divided public opinion, it’s unlikely Israel will press forward against Iran without U.S. backing.
