“I will participate in the elections and I intend to win,” Netanyahu declared. It was his first public response since Washington and Tehran reached an agreement in principle to end the war in the region.
According to polls, Netanyahu’s coalition would not win a majority in the next elections. Moreover, a poll by the Jerusalem-based think tank Israel Democracy Institute, published on June 9, shows that 61 percent of Israelis believe he should not run for re-election.
