*The 2026 survey finding that a majority of Americans — not a plurality — support the arrest of Benjamin Netanyahu, a figure John Kiriakou notes is higher than the share who supported arresting Nicolás Maduro and which, per CNN, represents a fifty-point move in American opinion over five years.*

- **Finding:** A majority — not a plurality — of Americans support arresting [Benjamin Netanyahu](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/benjamin-netanyahu)
- **Comparison:** Higher than the share who supported arresting Nicolás Maduro
- **Scale of change:** A 50 percentage-point move over five years, per CNN
- **Breakdown Kiriakou gives:** The vast majority of Democrats, the vast majority of independents, and a sizeable number of Republicans
- **What they believe:** That Netanyahu committed war crimes and should be prosecuted

The **Netanyahu arrest poll** is the survey [John Kiriakou](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/john-kiriakou) leads with in July 2026 as evidence that American opinion on Israel has broken. He is precise about the threshold: *"a shocking new poll showing that a majority, not a plurality, a majority of Americans support the arrest of [Benjamin Netanyahu](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/benjamin-netanyahu)."*[1]

Two comparisons give it scale. The number is *"significantly higher than the share of Americans who supported the arrest of [Nicholas Maduro](https://www.kiripedia.org/wiki/maduro-capture)"*; and according to CNN *"it represents a 50% point move just over the last 5 years."*[2]

Returning to the figure later in the episode, Kiriakou breaks the coalition down and uses it to pose a longer question about the alliance: *"where in the world America's relationship with Israel is headed. Where will it be in 5, 10, 30 years?"* His answer to the present state of it is that *"the vast majority of Democrats, the vast majority of independents, and a sizeable number of Republicans think that Benjamin Netanyahu committed war crimes and that he should be prosecuted."*[3][4]
