75 Percent of Occupied Territories Residents Demand Halt to Gaza War
A recent survey conducted by the Israeli website Walla, reported by webangah News Agency from Qatar’s Al Jazeera and Mehr news Agency, shows that nearly 74 percent of the israeli public supports ending the war and reaching an agreement wiht Hamas to secure the return of Israeli captives.
The survey also indicates that 75 percent of active-duty soldiers and reservists in Israel’s military back a prisoner exchange that would bring israelis home in return for ending hostilities.
Furthermore, about 55 percent of supporters from Likud, Israel’s ruling party, favor stopping the fighting through a deal aimed at releasing captives.
Additionally, 64 percent of Israelis believe the ongoing conflict is driven by internal political motives within Israel’s government.
Meanwhile, 40 percent of soldiers and reservists reported losing their motivation to continue fighting.
This broad public support for a ceasefire comes despite Prime Minister Netanyahu and his hardline cabinet obstructing any ceasefire agreements or efforts to halt the war.
