An informal poll aired Tuesday evening on Channel 14's 'Patriots' program found that 83% of participants do not trust U.S. President Donald Trump to safeguard Israeli interests in dealings with Turkey, according to host Yinon Magal.
The new poll, conducted and aired during Tuesday evening's broadcast of 'Patriots' on Channel 14, asked participants whether they trust President Trump to protect Israeli interests in the context of Turkey. A large majority — 83% — said they do not.
The program, hosted by Yinon Magal, regularly runs informal viewer polls on current affairs. The Zioneer has reported on previous 'Patriots' polls measuring audience sentiment on the Iran nuclear talks (95% distrust), the Lebanon security zone (89% opposed withdrawal), and the Knesset comptroller vote (97% opposed a new vote). These polls are non-scientific and reflect the program's audience, not the general public.
The question specifically cited Turkey, a country with which Israel has had complex relations in recent years. The poll results suggest significant skepticism among the program's viewers toward U.S. diplomatic engagement with Ankara.
