About two-thirds of American Jews worry that US President Donald Trump’s policy towards Ukraine could portend a future policy shift toward Israel, according to a new survey.

The Jewish People Policy Institute’s monthly report on Diaspora Jewry, published Sunday, finds that 63% of American Jews say that after a tense meeting with Ukrainian President Volodymyr Zelensky at the White House last month, Trump’s handling of relations with Ukraine, makes them “more concerned” about Trump’s future policies with Israel.

Some 74% of respondents say they do not support Trump’s policies regarding Ukraine and the war with Russia, the report says.

Overall, 27% of respondents say they have a lot of confidence that Trump will do the right thing when it comes to US-Israel relations, 32% say they have low confidence, and 38% say they have no confidence in Trump’s handling of US-Israel relations.
