Most Americans now view Israel unfavorably
A new Pew Research Center poll shows that most Americans now view Israel unfavorably.
Fifty-three percent of U.S. adults say they view Israel negatively, up from 42% in 2022.
Those with very unfavorable views have nearly doubled to 19%.
The divide is deeply partisan.
Sixty-nine percent of Democrats view Israel negatively, compared to 37% of Republicans.
Among younger Republicans, views are almost evenly split.
The poll was conducted in late March, just before Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s visit to Washington.
Only 32% of Americans say they have confidence in him.
Support for what Pew called Israel’s war in Gaza is also falling.
Fifty-four percent now say the war is important to them personally, down from 65% in January.
Meanwhile, less than half of Americans, 46%, believe a two-state solution is possible.
On President Donald Trump’s proposal for the U.S. to take over Gaza and relocate Palestinians, 62% of Americans oppose it, with 49% strongly against the idea.
Only 15% support it.
