Israelis are deeply divided on how to move forward in the conflict in Lebanon, according to the recent Israeli Voice Index of the Israel Democracy Institute. Of all those polled, 46.6 percent believe Israel should pursue a diplomatic deal to end the war in the north, while 45.8 percent think the fight against Hezbollah should continue. Conducted at the end of October among a representative sample of 750 respondents, the survey also found a substantial increase in optimism about the future of national security. Dr. Lior Yohanani, Manager of Quantitative Research at the Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research at the Israel Democracy Institute, spoke about the findings with KAN reporter Naomi Segal.
