As US President Donald Trump threatens to attack Iran if it fails to reach a nuclear deal, 59 percent of Israelis support joining a potential US strike on the Islamic Republic, according to a Channel 12 poll released on Thursday.

Another 29% of respondents were opposed to joining a US strike on Iran, and the remaining 12% were uncertain.

Meanwhile, both the Channel 12 poll and a survey by Zman Yisrael, The Times of Israel’s Hebrew-language sister site, showed Netanyahu’s coalition and the opposition parties again failing to clinch a Knesset majority in the next election without the support of an Arab faction.

Leaders of both blocs have rejected relying on Arab support to form a government.

The idea that negotiation is still on the table here to avoid bombing Iran frankly just not hold water.

The US would only be getting involved for Israel’s sake. Enough of the US doing Israel’s bidding.
