Zack Beauchamp on high Israeli support for war against Hamas, but "cratering" support for Netanyahu

There's zero rallying around Netanyahu.  There's a poll just a few days ago that found 72 percent of Israelis want him to resign.  The only real division between Israelis at the point is "Do you want him to resign now or only resign after the war when we deal with those things?"...  His party's cratering in polls, some of his political allies are also falling in polls significantly.  This does not mean a real move to the left among Israelis.  It's kind of a complicated picture, but what it does appear to be is a return to the center.  The leading party that is gaining support per polling right now is the center-right Natural Unity faction, which is currently in the government on an emergency basis to help manage the war, but one of the leading oppostion parties prior to the war.  That faction is the beneficiary of a sense among Israelis that "What we need right now is a kind of not crazy leadership, not ideological, not corrupt, that is willing to pursue this war" that there's really strong support for, at least among Jewish Israelis.  And the support for the war, as far as I can tell, remains intense...
