A new Israel Hayom poll finds that 71% of Israeli respondents say they do not trust U.S. President Donald Trump to safeguard Israeli interests in negotiations over an Iran deal. Only 11% of respondents believe Israel won the war against Iran. The survey captures deepening Israeli skepticism of the U.S. administration's approach.
A poll conducted by Israel Hayom and published Thursday evening finds that 71% of Israeli respondents do not trust President Donald Trump to protect Israeli interests in the ongoing Iran deal negotiations. Only 11% believe Israel won the war against Iran. The findings continue a trend tracked by The Zioneer: a Channel 12 poll earlier Thursday showed 84% of Israelis said Israel did not win the war, with 43% saying Israel lost outright. The new survey adds granularity by measuring the degree of trust in the U.S. administration's stewardship of talks.
The Israel Hayom poll marks a further deterioration in Israeli public confidence in the U.S.-led process. A Kantar survey earlier this week found that 54% of Israelis now hold a negative view of Trump — the first time a majority has tilted negative. The latest numbers suggest that skepticism is deepening as the contours of a possible deal become clearer.
The survey was published shortly before 23:34 Jerusalem time Thursday. It is based on a representative sample; the full methodology and margin of error have not yet been published.
