Washington – Zaytoun News
A Reuters/Ipsos poll showed that most Americans, including 80% of Democrats and 41% of Republicans, believe the United States should recognize a Palestinian state, indicating that President Donald Trump’s opposition to the move is out of step with public opinion.
The six-day survey, which concluded last Monday, found that 59% of respondents supported U.S. recognition of a Palestinian state, while 33% opposed it, with the remainder unsure or not responding.
The findings of this poll suggest that President Donald Trump’s opposition to recognizing a Palestinian state is increasingly out of step with public sentiment. As the political landscape continues to evolve, this disconnect could influence discussions on U.S. foreign policy, particularly regarding the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.
The strong support for Palestinian statehood among both Democrats and a notable portion of Republicans suggests a potential pressure on lawmakers to reconsider current U.S. policies concerning Israel and Palestine. As discussions surrounding human rights and international diplomacy gain traction, the public’s voice may play a crucial role in shaping future policies.
