Public support for Netanyahu’s Likud declines amid Israel-Hamas truce

Israel’s ruling Likud party led by Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has seen a decline in public support amid a truce with Hamas, an opinion poll conducted by the Maariv daily says, according to The Voice of Russia.

Experts predict that in the upcoming January parliamentary elections Likud might receive only 37 seats out of 120, six seats less than it had expected before the conflict with Hamas broke out.

The poll shows 49% of Israelis unhappy with the truce.
