Polls are indicating the growing unpopularity of Benjamin Netanyahu, with One by Kan, the Israeli Public Broadcasting Corporation, saying 64 per cent of Israelis believe Netanyahu’s performance in the Gaza conflict after 90 days is not good, Al Jazeera reports.

Israelis believe Benny Gantz’s National Unity Party will win 33 seats if an election is held, while Netanyahu’s Likud will win 20.

There have been tens of thousands of people protesting in Tel Aviv over the past few days. It started with demonstrators saying “bring the captives home”, but now the rhetoric is shifting towards calling for another election. They want to see the Netanyahu government gone because of a lack of trust.

Gantz and two others refused to go to a cabinet meeting today and this comes amid a wider security cabinet meeting completely falling out and being cancelled after a few hours when they were supposed to talk about “the day after the war”. Gantz put the blame directly on Netanyahu.
