Walla, an online media company owned by The Jerusalem Post, has conducted a poll that found 62 per cent of Israelis want their government to reach a deal that would see the release of the remaining captives held in Gaza, Al Jazeera reports.

Support for the Iran ceasefire, however, is a different matter, with just 33pc of Israelis polling in support. The majority, 52pc, are against the deal.
