Poll shows most Americans back Palestine recognition, view Israel’s Gaza war as excessive

 

 58-percent majority of Americans believe that every country in the United Nations should recognize Palestine as a nation, according to a Reuters/Ipsos poll released Wednesday, reflecting Israel’s increasingly precarious international position after 22 months of a grueling and destructive war in Gaza.

 

Some 33% of respondents did not agree that UN members should recognize a Palestinian state and 9% did not answer.

 

The six-day poll, which closed on Monday, was taken within weeks of three countries — close US allies Canada, Britain and France — announcing they intended to recognize the State of Palestine. This ratcheted up pressure on Israel as the UN and aid groups warned of spreading starvation in Gaza.
