U.S. favorability of Benjamin Netanyahu 2024
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.
Amidst an ongoing Israeli invasion in Gaza, a May 2024 survey found that 28 percent of Americans held a favorable view of Israel's Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu.
