The ongoing conflict and the Israeli public's opposition to the ceasefire with Iran suggest continued instability in the Middle East, potentially impacting oil prices and defense sector stocks. The declining approval of Benjamin Netanyahu could lead to political uncertainty in Israel, affecting investor confidence in the region.
A new poll from the Hebrew University of Jerusalem reveals that nearly two-thirds of Israelis oppose the ceasefire between Iran and the United States, brokered by Pakistan. The Israeli public is divided on whether Israel should respect the two-week truce or resume attacks on Iran. While the ceasefire has halted U.S. and Israeli airstrikes on Iran, a parallel war between Israel and the Iranian-backed Hezbollah in Lebanon continues, with Israeli forces conducting bombardments and Hezbollah firing rockets. Over 61% of Israelis believe the truce should not extend to the fighting with Hezbollah, a core demand by Iran. The poll also indicates a decline in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's standing among Israelis since the start of the Iran war, with an election due by October.
