The poll published by the Israel Democracy Institute and Tel Aviv University on Wednesday reveals that most Israelis consider the Middle East policies of President Donald Trump to be pro-Israel, in sharp contrast to Israeli views on the policies of former President Barack Obama.
According the monthly Peace Index poll, approximately 70 percent of Israelis view the current U.S. position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict as pro-Israel, with only 4 percent identifying the policies of the current administration as pro-Palestinian.
When the same poll was taken back in May, 2011, only 14 percent of respondents identified the Obama administration’s Middle East policy as pro-Israel, with 31 percent labeling Obama’s policies as pro-Palestinian.
