The Israel Today website quotes Dr. Goren of the Mitvim Institute as saying: "The survey shows that the Israeli population has slowly but surely lost confidence in the nation’s foreign policy".
41 percent of the survey's respondents also believe that this problem affects Israel’s closest ally, the USA, with whom relations have deteriorated recently.
It seems that most Israelis feel that the nation’s foreign policy is failing to convey the true face of Israel.
36 percent of respondents said that better education regarding the conflict was necessary.
