A new survey finds that 67% of left-wing voters and 47% of right-wing voters perceive defending the judicial system as a left-wing position, according to the poll published Thursday evening.
A new poll published Thursday evening by the Weekend supplement reveals a sharp partisan divide in how Israelis view the act of defending the judicial system. Among self-identified left-wing voters, 67% say that defending the judiciary is considered a left-wing position, while 47% of right-wing voters share that view. The survey highlights the deep political polarization surrounding the judiciary in Israel, amid ongoing debates over judicial reform and the role of the Supreme Court. Previous polls cited by The Zioneer have surveyed public opinion on security and foreign policy, but this is a direct measure of political identity.
