Poll: Israelis dissatisfied with Netanyahu's coronavirus handling

Palestine (Qodsna) - Sixty-five percent of Israelis think Zionist regime’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is responding poorly to the coronavirus crisis, a Israel's Channel 12 News poll released on Tuesday shows.

The poll also asked Israelis how they would vote if elections were held now. Netanyahu's Likud party, the survey says, would get 26 out of 120 Knesset seats, down three from Channel 12's previous poll two weeks ago and 10 from Likud's current Knesset representation of 36 seats.

Netanyahu's party took to Twitter to respond, claiming "the left-wing media inflates [Yamina's Naftali] Bennett to take down Prime Minister Netanyahu and Likud."

When asked whether the government should dissolve itself and go for a fourth round of elections, 49 percent of respondents said that they support early elections. Thirty percent said that the current Knesset should continue to govern, and 21 percent said that they didn’t know.
