Nearly 92 per cent of respondents in an Israeli survey said Iran emerged stronger from the recent conflict and subsequent US-Iran agreement, while a majority expressed doubts about Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's handling of the war.
The findings point to a sharp gap between the government's narrative of military success and public perceptions of the conflict's outcome.
An overwhelming 92.1 per cent of respondents said Iran had either won the conflict or gained more from it than Israel.
At the same time, 82.9 per cent felt that Israel's long-term security had been weakened by the war and its aftermath.
The perception that Iran came out ahead was not limited to opposition supporters.
Among voters aligned with the right-wing bloc that forms Netanyahu's political base, 93.1 per cent also believed Iran had emerged stronger.
