Netanyahu’s Election Strategy Could Cost Trump with US Voters

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has rejected a 15-point peace plan proposed by President Donald Trump's Board of Peace, which aims to end the war in Gaza. This decision is seen as a political move to benefit Netanyahu ahead of Israel's upcoming election on October 27. The White House's response to the rejection has been relatively subdued, but domestic support for Israel and its involvement in the war against Hamas in the Palestinian territories has been decreasing.

A recent Pew Research Center poll found that unfavorable views of Israel have climbed from 43% in 2022 to 62% in 2023. This growing discontent within the United States could potentially impact the administration and its party during the upcoming midterm elections on November 3.
