A recent Gallup poll has unveiled a significant decline in support for Israeli aggression against Gaza among the American populace. The survey, conducted from March 1 to 20, sheds light on shifting sentiments regarding the longstanding conflict in the region.
According to Gallup's findings, the percentage of Americans backing Israeli aggression dropped from 50% in November to 36% in March. Conversely, opposition to such actions surged, with 55% of Americans now expressing disapproval.
The decline in support transcends party lines, with both Democrats and Republicans showing reduced backing for Israeli aggression. Incumbent Democrats witnessed an 18% decrease in support, while Republicans saw a 7% decline.
The poll also highlights the significant attention the Israel-Hamas conflict commands, with 74% of American adults closely following developments.
The shift in American public opinion mirrors a broader trend seen globally. Several polls conducted worldwide have shown waning support for Israel following the Gaza massacre, prompting many countries to reassess diplomatic ties with Tel Aviv.
While some European nations have joined calls for an independent Palestine, Western powers such as the United States, the United Kingdom, France, and Germany continue to offer direct support to Israel through military aid and political backing. Additionally, most NATO countries have vetoed ceasefire proposals for Gaza at the UN.
In contrast, countries like Bangladesh, China, Russia, and Iran have voiced strong opposition to the Gaza genocide, advocating for diplomatic efforts to achieve an independent Palestinian state.
The Gallup poll underscores a notable shift in American sentiment towards the Israel-Gaza conflict, reflecting changing attitudes both domestically and internationally.
