A new\u00a0Gallup poll measures<\/a>\u00a0Americans\u2019 approval of Israel\u2019s military action in Gaza at 32 percent, the lowest point recorded since the question was first asked in November 2023, immediately following Hamas\u2019s terrorist attack on the country.<\/p>\n

Americans\u2019 disapproval of Israel\u2019s military action has now reached 60 percent and diverges greatly along partisan lines. Democratic support is at a low of 8 percent, while 25 percent of independents approve\u00a0with those\u00a0low numbers contributing to overall decline in approval.\u00a0<\/p>\n

The latest poll took place between July 7-21. It comes amid growing international outrage against Israel for a worsening humanitarian crisis in the Gaza Strip, with food crisis experts saying Tuesday<\/a> there is a \u201cworst-case scenario\u201d related to famine in the territory. <\/p>\n

\u201cAmericans supported Israel\u2019s actions in Gaza in its initial reading in 2023, taken several weeks after the Oct. 7 Hamas attack. Since then, disapproval has outpaced approval in each survey, peaking at 55 percent in March 2024 before dipping to 48 percent in two readings later in the year,\u201d Gallup said. <\/p>\n

While 71 percent of Republicans approve of Israel\u2019s military actions in Gaza, the wide divergence among political parties is viewed\u00a0as\u00a0threatening\u00a0the\u00a0longstanding bipartisan support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.\u00a0<\/p>\n

Sen. Angus King (I-Maine), a member of the Senate Select Committee on Intelligence, said Monday he would vote against any military support for Israel <\/a>amid the hunger crisis in Gaza. Sen. Bernie Sanders (I-Vt.) on Friday introduced a joint resolution of disapproval to block certain weapons shipments to Israel, reportedly to block the sale<\/a> of thousands of fully automatic assault rifles. <\/p>\n

In April 2024, Congress approved more than $14 billion in security assistance to Israel, and under the Biden administration, approved more than 100 separate foreign military sales<\/a>, the Washington Post reported. <\/p>\n

President Biden was criticized for slow-walking deliveries to Israel under pressure from Democrats to hold back sending some of America\u2019s most destructive weaponry. The Trump administration said in March<\/a> it was expediting \u201cthe delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel.\u201d <\/p>\n

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, asked earlier this month whether he was worried about declining support for Israel in the Democratic Party, said<\/a> he was \u201ccertainly interested in maintaining the great support that Israel has had\u201d and blamed a \u201cconcerted effort to spread vilifications and demonization against Israel in social media.\u201d <\/p>\n

\u201cWe intend to fight it, nothing defeats lies like the truth\u2026 Once people are exposed to the facts, we win hands down. That’s what we intend to do in the coming months and years.\u201d<\/p>\n

The Gallup poll also recorded a majority of Americans disapprove of Netanyahu, at 52 percent, his highest unfavorable rating since 1997, but that measure also diverges along party lines. <\/p>\n

\u201cTwo-thirds of Republicans, 67 percent, now have a favorable opinion of Netanyahu, compared with 19 percent of independents and 9 percent of Democrats,\u201d Gallup said. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
