Most Israelis war-weary but oppose Iran ceasefire, poll finds

Monday, 13 April 2026 · 1 min read

A new poll by the Hebrew University of Jerusalem finds that while Israelis are broadly exhausted after more than two years of conflict, roughly two-thirds oppose the current tentative truce between Washington and Tehran. The survey of 1,312 Israelis conducted on 9–10 April found "despair" was the most commonly chosen word to describe respondents' emotions, and a large majority doubted that Iran or Hezbollah (the Lebanese militant group backed by Tehran) had been severely weakened by recent bombardments. The results underscore a stark divide between Israel's Jewish majority, most of whom supported the campaign against Iran, and its Arab minority, who have consistently favoured an early ceasefire — a split that could shape the outcome of parliamentary elections expected later this year.
