Poll: 85% of public believe the leadership is corrupt
By Gideon Alon and Nir Hasson
 

A Dahaf Institute poll has found that 84 percent of the Israeli public does not believe in the integrity of political party leaders. However, Israel was one of the top three performers in an international poll ranking anti-corruption mechanisms that promote public integrity.

The Dahaf survey found that 52 percent of the public does not believe that there is a clean political party in Israel and that 85 percent think Israeli leadership is characterized by corruption.

Although most of the public thinks there is a basis to the suspicions against the Tax Authority officials accused of involvement in a widespread corruption scandal, Israel got 95 points, with 100 being the best, in the financial regulation category of the international survey.

The survey, which was released yesterday, was conducted by the Center for Public Integrity in coordination with the International Consortium of Investigative Journalists.

It analyzes public integrity in 43 countries, many of them developing countries in Africa and Asia but including the United States and Russia. Israel was judged "strong" or "very strong" in four out of six categories, including elections and the media.
