On October 7 2023, Palestinian militant group Hamas led an invasion into Israel via the Gaza Strip, marking the first time direct contact was made on Israeli territory since the First Arab-Israeli War in 1948 and 1949. Following attacks on bordering communities and Israeli military bases, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally declared war.
As one of Israel's allies, many have begun debating the role of the United States and responsibility to respond. In October 9, 46 percent of Americans believed the U.S. to have a responsibility to do something about the fighting. However, that figure dropped to 38 percent in November.
Do you think the United States does or does not have a responsibility to do something about the fighting between Israeli forces and Hamas?
