A new Pew Research Center poll reveals mixed views on Donald Trump’s stance on Israel, with only 31 percent of Americans believing he favours Israel too much, while 37 percent remain uncertain about his approach to Israeli-Palestinian relations.
Despite Trump’s staunch backing of Israel’s war on Gaza, just 3 percent think he leans too far toward Palestinians, while 29 percent say he maintains the right balance.
On Trump’s push to forcibly remove Palestinians from Gaza, only 20 percent believe he is very or extremely likely to take control of the territory, while 38 percent say such a move is unlikely.
Overall, 62 percent oppose any US takeover of Gaza, underscoring widespread scepticism over Trump’s Middle East policies.
