by Noah Glyn, RealClearDefenseMarch 6, 2026
American political support for Israel has declined to its lowest point in decades. A recent Gallup poll found that for the first time more Americans sympathize with Palestinians than with Israelis. This trend is being driven by the protracted war in Gaza, which resulted in the widespread suffering of the population. Among elected officials, opposition to Israel is mostly isolated to the Democratic party. Congressional Republicans remain staunchly pro-Israel, with a few notable exceptions, but Israel is also taking a beating among certain prominent Republican commentators.
