Poll shows Israelis massively favor Trump over Harris in US election

A poll published by Channel 12 TV shows that Israelis massively favor Republican Donald Trump over Democrat Kamala Harris, in the upcoming US presidential elections.

Asked who they prefer to be the next US president, 66 percent chose the former president, while only 17% say they want to see the US vice president win the election. A further 17% said they did not know.

The channel noted that US President Joe Biden was briefly favored by the Israeli public last year, as he threw his full support behind Israel after the October 7, 2023 Hamas massacre.

However, that good feeling appears to have evaporated, as the US has sought to restrain Israel over the past year.

Trump pushed through a series of pro-Israel moves during his time in power: moving the US embassy to Jerusalem, recognizing Israel’s annexation of the Golan Heights, and taking a tougher stance against Iran.
