View of Israel POLL
A majority of Americans — 53 percent — now hold an unfavorable view of Israel, according to a new Pew survey released Tuesday, which also showed just under a third of Americans have confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
The question on Israel’s favorability was last included in a Pew survey in March 2022, when 42% expressed a negative view toward the Jewish state.
As Americans look at the Middle East, fewer say the Israel-Hamas war is important to them personally – or important to U.S. national interests – than felt that way early last year, according to a new Pew Research Center survey.
In addition, the public’s views of Israel have turned more negative over the past three years. More than half of U.S. adults (53%) now express an unfavorable opinion of Israel, up from 42% in March 2022 – before the Hamas attack of Oct. 7, 2023, and the ensuing Israeli invasion of the Gaza Strip.
