Israeli public trust in Benjamin Netanyahu to manage the Iran war well March 2026
According to a survey by IDI from early March 2026, over 64 percent of Israelis trusted Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to manage the military operation in Iran appropriately. On the other hand, a sizeable minority did not trust Netanyahu to lead the war.
On February 28, 2026, the U.S. and Israel initiated a military offense in Iran, which they termed a 'preemptive strike.' Since then, Iran has retaliated with daily barrages on Israel and other Middle Eastern countries.
