Most Israelis believe 'absolute victory' in Gaza unlikely, survey shows

Most Israelis don't believe an "absolute victory" in Gaza is likely, a new poll by the Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute has shown. 

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has in recent weeks repeated his vow to achieve “absolute victory” in Gaza before ending the war. 

Fifty-five percent of respondents to the study viewed the likelihood of achieving the goal as low.

The poll also showed that a majority of Jewish respondents, around 68 percent, oppose the transfer of humanitarian aid to Gaza.
