Netanyahu: Strong U.S. Public Support Helps Perpetuate War on Gaza
------------------------------------------------------------------

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has credited U.S. public
support for Israel as being a key factor in allowing Israel to resist
calls to end its war on Gaza. Netanyahu cited one poll that showed 82%
of Americans support Israel. Netanyahu said, "This will help us continue
the campaign until total victory." Other polls have painted a very
different picture. A recent AP poll found 50% of U.S. adults said they
believed Israel's actions had gone too far. Netanyahu's comments came
after President Biden said Israel will "lose support from around the
world" if it "continues on its current path."
