Israelis broadly pick Donald Trump over Kamala Harris as better for Israel’s security and in turn favor Trump for the U.S. presidency in a national poll we’ve produced in partnership with PORI (Public Opinion Research Israel). Sharp political divisions in these results underscore the fault lines in Israeli politics.

While attention now is on Israel’s conflict with Hezbollah and Iran, the September survey also finds majority Israeli rejection of the suggestion that Israel is doing too little to avoid civilian casualties in Gaza. To the contrary, “considering the challenges of conducting battles in populated areas,” 54 percent said Israel is doing too much to avoid such casualties.

The brief national survey was conducted via face-to-face interviews in Hebrew and Arabic, Sept. 8-22, 2024, among a random national sample of 1,012 respondents.
