Support for Israel declines in the US: new Gallup poll
Recent data from a Gallup poll shows a significant decrease in American support for Israel. Currently, only 46% of respondents express support for the Jewish state — one of the lowest figures in the past 25 years.
What has changed?
Increased criticism of Israel's actions in Gaza. The intensification of Israeli military operations has caused dissatisfaction among some segments of American society, especially among the youth and liberal voters.
Reconsideration of traditional alliances. Israel has long been a key ally of the US in the Middle East, but generational change and shifts in political rhetoric within the country have led to rising anti-Israel sentiments among Democrats and independents.
Changing media landscape. The influence of social media and alternative sources of information has allowed for a more critical view of Israel’s role in the Middle Eastern conflict.
Which groups are most critical?
Youth and progressive voters. Among Democrats, 76% support the creation of an independent Palestine, while among Republicans, this figure is 41%.
Independent voters. Support for Palestine among this group reaches 53%, indicating growing skepticism towards Israeli policies.
Republicans remain the most loyal to Israel. However, even among them, the share of those supporting a two-state solution is gradually increasing.
How do Americans feel about Trump’s policy on Israel and Palestine?
40% approve of his approach to the conflict.
55% support the two-state solution, which envisions an independent Palestine alongside Israel.
31% oppose it, while another 14% are undecided.
Conclusion
The decline in support for Israel in the US reflects changes in American political preferences. While Republicans continue to maintain more traditional positions, Democrats and the youth are increasingly advocating for a reassessment of Washington’s Middle East policy. This could affect future actions by the White House, especially in the context of the upcoming presidential elections.
