MAILONLINE LIVEBLOG: Follow for updates as the conflict between Israel and Palestine enters its ninth day.
The murderous incursion by Hamas last week has plunged Israel into a political crisis as well as a military one. Benjamin Netanyahu, once widely hailed as 'Mr Security', the man who could be relied upon to keep Israel's borders secure against all comers, is now widely reviled.
Two opinion polls published on Friday showed that support for the prime minister is plummeting. Asked how they would vote if elections were being held this week, respondents to one poll gave Likud, Netanyahu's ruling party, just 19 seats in the Knesset, down from the 32 it won in last year's election. Only 29 per cent considered Netanyahu the best candidate to be prime minister.
