Poll: Most Jewish-Israelis say Iran deal poses ‘existential threat’

(JTA) — Nearly three-quarters of Jewish-Israelis agree with Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s assertion that the Iran nuclear deal poses an “existential threat” to the Jewish state. According to The Peace Index, a poll conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University on August 30-31 by telephone, 73 percent of Jewish-Israelis share Netanyahu’s views on the Iran nuclear deal, which eases sanctions in exchange for Iran curbing its nuclear program, and 78 percent believe Iran will not uphold its obligations under the deal. Arab-Israelis had mixed views on the deal, with 35 percent believing Iran will not uphold its commitments, 30 percent saying it would fulfill its commitments and 34 percent saying they did not know. The poll had a 4.1 percent margin of error.
