"US Public Opinion on Israel and Palestinian Authority Declines, Gallup and WSJ Polls Show"

Americans' views of both Israel and the Palestinian Authority have worsened in the past year, with favorable opinions of Israel dropping to the lowest level in over two decades and positive opinions of the Palestinian Authority also declining. The war between Israel and Hamas has made Americans less positive toward both sides, leading to divided opinions on which side the U.S. should pressure more to end the conflict. Despite underlying pro-Israeli sympathies remaining unchanged, the Biden administration faces policy challenges as Democrats tend to side with the Palestinians more than the Israelis, and young adults show much less positive views toward Israel.
