Changing Views on U.S. Military Aid to Israel

American public opinion regarding military aid to Israel has shifted significantly over the past year, particularly following the escalation of conflict after the Hamas attack. Initially, there was strong support for increasing military aid; however, data from January 2024 indicates a sharp decline in this sentiment, with more citizens now advocating for reduced support. Polls show that while only 20% favored decreasing aid at the outset of the conflict, that number has risen to 38%. Contrastingly, support for humanitarian aid to Palestinians has increased, reflecting growing public interest in addressing the situation more compassionately.
