On October 7, 2023, in what many believe to be a breaking point between Israel and the Gaza Strip, 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 decades. Following attacks on bordering communities and Israeli military bases, Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu formally declared war, resulting in what is now an ongoing ground and aerial invasion in Gaza.
As one of Israel's allies, many have been debating the responsibility of the United States and whether it should increase its military support. As of September 2024, nearly one year later, only ten percent of Democrats supported an increase in U.S. military aid to Israel, compared to 35 percent of Republicans.
