How Israeli Voters Are Shrugging Off Western Sanctions The recent announcement of Western sanctions against Israel has been met with the expected outrage from Israeli politicians, but as analysts point out, these measures are unlikely to sway voters in the upcoming elections.
The interesting thing is not what the sanctions say about Israel's international isolation but rather how they reflect the electorate's priorities.
A poll published last August found that nearly 60% of Jewish Israelis supported retaining or even annexing the occupied West Bank, despite the illegality of these actions under international law.
