A new poll reveals widespread Israeli distrust in former President Trump’s ability to advocate for Israel’s interests regarding the Iran nuclear deal, with 71% expressing a lack of confidence. Only 11% of Israelis believe Israel emerged victorious from its recent military conflict. The survey also comes as Trump indicates a likely endorsement of Benjamin Netanyahu, but expresses a desire to assess other potential candidates. This hesitancy from Trump appears linked to broader Israeli dissatisfaction with the handling of the Iran deal and concerns about Netanyahu’s leadership. The findings highlight a significant disconnect between some Israeli perceptions and Trump’s potential role in regional politics. The poll underscores growing anxieties within Israel regarding both the Iran issue and the outcome of recent hostilities.
