has very little faith in its justice system, a joint Haifa and Ben Gurion University poll said Tuesday.
The perennial poll, conducted by Prof. Eran Vigoda-Gadot of the Haifa University and Dr. Shlomo Mizrahi of the Ben Gurion University, was the seventh of its kind.

The public, it seem, has little faith in the justice system in Israel as a whole – it scored 2.77 point. The judges and courts scored 3.2 points and the general staff at the State Prosecutor's Office came in with 3 points.
State Comptroller Micha Lindenstrauss did not fair much better: Both the State Comptroller's Office in general and the State Ombudsman, which is a department within the State Comptroller's Office, received their lowest score in seven years – 3.22 points and 3 points respectively.
The low scores for themselves are not surprising, said the survey, but both Vigoda-Gadot and Mizrahi expressed their concern over the continued decline in the public's faith in the judicial system.
