Democratic Support for Israel Drops Below 10% Amid Gaza Crisis

Support for Israel's military actions in Gaza has sharply declined among American voters, particularly Democrats, amid rising concerns over the humanitarian crisis and Netanyahu's prosecution of the war. Recent Gallup polls show only 32% of Americans back Israel's military efforts, with just 8% support among Democrats and 25% among independents, while 71% of Republicans maintain strong backing. This decline in support is reflected in the Senate, where more than half of Senate Democrats now support measures blocking weapons sales to Israel, marking a significant shift from earlier positions. The Democratic base is increasingly critical of Israel's policies, urging party leadership to reconsider unconditional support and incorporate aid to Gaza and military funding cuts into their platforms. Younger Americans, especially those under 35, are particularly opposed to the war, posing long-term political implications for both parties. Meanwhile, international pressure mounts as European countries consider recognizing a Palestinian state in response to the ongoing humanitarian crisis in Gaza.
