Israeli Support for Trump's Re-election
The recent re-election of Donald Trump was met with significant approval from Israeli officials, reflecting a stark contrast with Jewish American sentiment, where a vast majority voted Democratic. Polls indicated that approximately 66% of Israelis preferred Trump over Kamala Harris, highlighting a pronounced divide in political leanings. This favor stems from Trump's past policies that resonated strongly with Israeli interests, such as moving the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem and affirming Israeli sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Trump's track record during his presidency allows Israelis to perceive him as a proven ally capable of implementing decisive actions that align with their national priorities.
