Israeli Channel 14 is reporting a political storm in the United States following what it describes as a 'U-turn' by President Donald Trump, accompanied by widespread criticism. The report also cites a poll showing that only a third of the American public supports continuing the military campaign against Iran.
Channel 14, one of Israel's leading news outlets, is reporting a political storm in the United States sparked by what it describes as a 'U-turn' by President Donald Trump. The report, aired Monday evening, notes that the shift has drawn sharp criticism from across the political spectrum. Additionally, the channel cites a poll indicating that only one-third of the American public supports continuing the military campaign against Iran.
This latest report aligns with a series of recent polls, previously covered by The Zioneer, that have shown President Trump's approval rating at historic lows. A Reuters/Ipsos poll from late June found Trump's approval at 34%, with 52% of Americans saying the war against Iran was not worth its costs. A CNN poll from late July similarly recorded 34% approval and only 25% support for the war's cost. The new figure cited by Channel 14 — one-third supporting continuation — is consistent with those trends, suggesting sustained public wariness.
The so-called 'U-turn' reportedly refers to a shift in Trump's policy stance, though specific details of the change have not been elaborated in the brief report. The development underscores the ongoing domestic political pressure facing the Trump administration as it seeks to sustain its military campaign in the region.
