The Israel Democracy Institute published a poll earlier this week by the Viterbi Family Center showing a sharp drop in Israelis’ confidence in President Donald Trump’s commitment to their security.

The percentage of Israelis who believe that Israel’s security is one of Trump’s main considerations barely shifted from November 2024 to March 2026, rising by one percentage point, from 63 percent to 64 percent. Just two months later, in May, that percentage took a nosedive to 41 percent.

During those two months, Israelis also lost confidence that a U.S.-Iran deal will accomplish the goals Israel had hoped to achieve in its war against Iran.

The percentage of Israelis who believe that the deal will eliminate the nuclear project dropped from 63 to 56; that it will eliminate the ballistic threat dropped from 64.5 to 32; and that it will topple the Iranian regime dropped from 55 to 28.

The survey also found rising discontent with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, with 35 percent supporting another run for the highest office in the land and 61 percent opposing.
