Israeli prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's controversial ceasefire agreement with Hamas on Tuesday night came amid harsh political criticism of his decision from both the right and left sides of the political spectrum as well as a sharp drop in his popularity. A Channel 2 TV poll, published Wednesday evening, indicated that 54% of Israelis were opposed to the ceasefire deal worked out under Egyptian auspices. 59% said they were dissatisfied with Netanyahu's performance. According to the Shiluv Millward Brown poll, only 29% believed Israel defeated Hamas and 59% thought it did not. Satisfaction with Netanyahu sharply fell to 32%, down from a staggering 82% on July 23.   i24News
