Most of Israel supports Netanyahu's attacks on Iran: Poll

Israel's attacks on Iran have united most of Israel following divisions over the war on Gaza, Reuters reported on Wednesday.

Most Israelis support using force to destroy Iran's nucear programme, polling shows, despite retaliatory Iranian missile strikes that have killed 24 civilians and put normal life on hold.

"Netanyahu took a really difficult decision. On the topic of Iran, right now he is doing the right thing," Avigdor Lieberman, a former defence minister who quit Netanyahu's government in 2018, told Reuters.

Meanwhile, former Defence Minister Benny Gantz, who quit Netanyahu's war cabinet a year ago over disagreements about Gaza, was similarly supportive.

"On the Iranian issue, there is no right or left. There is right or wrong. And we are right," he told broadcaster CNN.
