Forty-one per cent of respondents in the new poll, which closed as Israel, Washington's closest Middle East ally, was preparing a ground invasion into Gaza, said they agreed with a statement that"the US should support Israel" in its conflict with Hamas, while 2 per cent said"the US should support the Palestinians.
Some 40 per cent of respondents under age 40 said the US should be a neutral mediator, roughly double the 19 per cent of people age 40 and above who said the same. Eighty-one per cent of respondents agreed with a statement that"Israel should avoid killing civilians in its retaliatory strikes against Hamas," compared to 19 per cent who disagreed.
But US Secretary of State Antony Blinken said on Sunday the Egyptian-controlled Rafah border crossing in southern Gaza would reopen and the US was working to get humanitarian assistance through it to ease the crisis. The US on Saturday advised its 500 to 600 dual-nationals in Gaza to move closer to the crossing for possible safe passage into Egypt.
The war, which threatens stability in a region that is critical for global energy supplies, could be a significant political issue as US President Joe Biden seeks re-election in 2024.
