Worrying poll: Israel losing support for Gaza war among American public
According to a new poll published by Reuters, a large majority of Americans believe that Israel overdid its military response in Gaza. • A similar conclusion emerges from a poll conducted by the Gallup Institute last month - and in both polls, Israel's standing in public opinion is at its lowest point since the start of the war. • And what do Americans think about the establishment of a Palestinian state?

Most Americans believe that Israel's military response to Hamas' actions on October 7 is "excessive", according to a new Ipsos poll published Wednesday by Reuters. The poll also points to a worrying trend in American public opinion - the pollsters have asked the same question seven times since the start of the war, and support for Israel's military response has now reached a low point.

According to the poll, 59% of Americans believe that Israel's military response in Gaza was exhaustive, compared to 33% who said they did not believe so. In February 2024, only 53% of Americans thought that the Israeli response was exhaustive, and in December 56%.
