The Israeli Foreign Policy Index of 2026

The annual survey examines key political and societal views and highlights developments over time.

It also places a focus on the perception of international actors, including Germany and Europe, and their role in Israeli foreign policy. The results show how these relationships are assessed by the Israeli public and among experts, and what expectations exist regarding cooperation.

The study is conducted every year, making it possible to track changes in public opinion and Israel's foreign policy priorities over time. This helps identify long-term trends and provides a broader understanding of how attitudes develop. For example, the findings show that a majority of Israelis still see Germany as a friend of Israel, while 67% have viewed the European Union as an adversary for the second year in a row.

The index provides a valuable basis for political analysis and public discussion. By collecting public and expert views in a consistent way, it supports informed discussions about Israel's foreign policy and its future direction.
