The report stated that US President Donald Trump’s approval rating on foreign policy was increasing, at 38 percent, compared to 33 percent in a poll held earlier this month, ahead of the US-brokered ceasefire agreement.
Approval of Trump
The poll also found that some “51% of poll respondents agreed with a statement that Trump ‘deserves significant credit’ if peace efforts are successful, compared with 42% who disagreed.”
The Crumbling Illusion: Why American Public Opinion on Israel Is Shifting
One in 20 Democrats “approve of Trump’s overall performance as president,” the report noted, while “one in four said he should get significant credit if the peace holds.”
Ceasefire Violations
On October 10, a ceasefire agreement came into effect in accordance with US President Trump’s plan, which includes a gradual withdrawal of the Israeli army, a mutual release of prisoners, and the immediate entry of aid into the Gaza Strip.
However, Israel has killed close to 100 Palestinians and injured 230 others in 80 violations of the ceasefire, according to Gaza’s Government Media Office.

The Media Office also reported on Wednesday that only 986 aid trucks have entered Gaza since the ceasefire began, significantly below the 6,600 expected.
“The daily average is 89 trucks, compared to the required 600. This limited entry, which included only 14 cooking gas and 28 diesel trucks, reflects the occupation’s continued policy of strangulation and humanitarian extortion against the population of Gaza,” the Office said in a statement.
Staggering Death Toll
Starting on October 7, 2023, the Israeli military, with American support, launched a genocidal war against the people of Gaza. This campaign has so far resulted in the deaths of over 68,000 Palestinians, with more than 169,000 wounded. The vast majority of the population has been displaced, and the destruction of infrastructure is unprecedented since World War II. Thousands of people are still missing.
The remains of 54 unidentified victims, whose bodies were recently handed over by Israel as part of the exchange deal, were laid to rest today in southern Gaza.
The families of the victims were unable to identify them due to the extensive mutilation and disfigurement inflicted… pic.twitter.com/QYqk2YHguO

In addition to the military assault, the Israeli blockade has caused a man-made famine, leading to the deaths of hundreds of Palestinians—mostly children—with hundreds of thousands more at risk.
Despite widespread international condemnation, little has been done to hold Israel accountable. The nation is currently under investigation for genocide by the International Court of Justice, while accused war criminals, including Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, are officially wanted by the International Criminal Court.

israel’s response was ” excessive ” ? Too bad america took 2 years to reach even this tepid conclusion!!… —israel’s response to Oct 7, 2023 WAS INSAIN!!, but it has served to Destroy zionism and seal the fate of israel itself!!…. Had I been the leader of israel, I too would have made a speech in the Knesset on Oct 7, 2023, but I would have said to the israeli people : ” This attack has come upon us because of what we OURSELVES have done to the Palestinian People for over 70 years… They would not be human, if they did not fight back against such terrible injustice and cruelty.. If they release our hostages today, we will henceforth help them to create their own Palestinian State. “
Why should Dondolf get any credit? this is how stupid some people are. They can’t remember what he did during his first term? He has been responsible for the deaths of tens of thousands of innocent civilians, non-combatants: mostly women and children…and now he has blatantly murdered ” drug smugglers ” at sea. There is ZERO proof they were running drugs, and even if there was they deserved a fair trial. He keeps defending the Israeli Jewish Nazis, and they keep murdering children. He deserves no credit for anything but being a dictator, a despot, a tyrannical ruler, who has now set the military upon his own civilians: non-combatants…
notice a trend?
