Majority of Israelis back Haredi draft law, October 7 inquiry, IDI survey finds
Only a quarter of Jewish respondents supported negotiations with Palestinians, while over half of Jews and Arabs surveyed supported taking strong action against settler violence in the West Bank.
A recent survey conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute (IDI) found that a majority of Jewish Israelis support requiring ultra-Orthodox men to serve in the Israeli Defense Forces (IDF) and establishing a state commission to investigate the October 7, 2023 Hamas attack. Support for conscription and inquiry was highest among those on the left and in the center, while support for negotiations with Palestinians was lowest, especially among those on the right.
Arab Israelis expressed the strongest support for considering negotiations with Palestinians, with 58% favoring it. The survey also revealed that 63% of Israelis believe recent reports that Prime Minister Netanyahu was warned weeks before October 7 of an attack were timed to influence upcoming elections.
