A survey conducted by the Kantar Institute and published Sunday by Kan News found that about half of Israelis oppose Justice Minister Yariv Levin's planned judicial reform, as opposed to just a third who support it.
According to the survey, 50% said they opposed the judicial reform, only 28% said they supported it, and 23% were uncertain. Among those who had voted for coalition parties, 63% stated they were for it, and 15% were against it.
The survey also found that a large majority supports holding dialogue before the coalition proceeds with the legislation. According to the results, 59% stated that the government should halt the legislation and have dialogue, and only 22% said to continue the reform as planned.
In addition, more than a third of those who voted for coalition parties said they support stopping the legislation process to hold a dialogue between the sides. Less than half of the coalition voters (47%) said to continue as planned.
As part of the survey, respondents were asked how they ranked the new government's performance regarding security. Only a quarter of the respondents said that the government was functioning well regarding security, as opposed to 64% who thought it did not. Among the coalition voters, the ranking was not exceptionally high either. Only 56% gave a good grade to the government in matters of security.
