Public backing in Israel for the government's recent military operation against Iran has fallen sharply, according to a new survey. The data, released this week, indicates that only 57% of Israelis now believe Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's decision to launch the attack was primarily driven by strategic security considerations. This marks a significant erosion of confidence from the initial, more unified support seen in the immediate aftermath of the strike, which targeted Iranian nuclear and military facilities last month. The declining figures suggest a growing domestic skepticism about the government's narrative and the long-term strategic wisdom of the operation. Analysts point to the subsequent regional escalation, including retaliatory rocket fire and heightened threats from Iranian proxies, as key factors causing the Israeli public to reassess the costs and benefits. The poll numbers reflect a nation grappling with the complex aftermath of a preemptive strike, where initial patriotic fervor is being tempered by the realities of an extended and volatile security situation. This shift in public opinion occurs against a backdrop of intense political fragmentation within Israel. Netanyahu's governing coalition, already under pressure from ongoing domestic judicial reforms and economic challenges, now faces increased scrutiny over its national security judgment.

Concurrently, the Iranian regime has used the attack to bolster its own nationalist rhetoric and justify an accelerated uranium enrichment program, presenting a scenario where the operation may have hardened the very threats it sought to...
