According to the poll published over the weekend in Ma’ariv, 26 percent of Israelis considered moving abroad over the past year, which saw an inconclusive war in Lebanon. Ninety percent of respondents voiced dissatisfaction with the Israeli leadership, a view that was more pronounced among 18- to 29-year-olds. Asked to name the country’s biggest problem, 27 percent of respondents said the educational system, 23 said the political system and 16 percent said the security threats. The survey had 500 respondents.
