A survey conducted by the Jewish People Policy Institute (JPPI), using representative sample of 816 respondents, reveals that the majority of the Israeli public prefers Donald Trump over Joe Biden as the next President of the United States.
The survey, conducted before the assassination attempt, found that among Jews in Israel, 51% prefer Trump compared to 35% who prefer Biden, with 14% stating they have no opinion.
Among Israeli Arabs, however, the picture is completely different. Only 23% support Trump, 13% support Biden, with the majority (64%) having no preference.
There is also a decline in the trust of the Jewish public in Israel in President Biden's commitment to Israel. Only 34% of Jews believe that Biden supports Israel as much as at the beginning of the war, a significant drop from 47% in February. Among Israeli Arabs, the perception is different, with 52% believing that Biden's support for Israel remains strong.
Meanwhile, the Chairman of the Republican Party in Israel, Attorney Marc Zell, and the Israeli campaign manager for President Trump, Ariel Sender, landed this morning in New York and will participate in the Republican National Convention in Milwaukee to confirm President Trump's nomination and select the Vice President candidate. Additionally, they will hold meetings with the former president's main campaign and discuss the party's platform ahead of the 2024 elections.
Zell said upon his arrival in New York: "The people of Israel are shocked by the heinous assassination attempt on Israel's best friend, President Trump, in Pennsylvania. We extend our sincere condolences to the victim's family and our prayers for the injured. President Trump has demonstrated leadership and the courage of a true leader. Thank God for the swift and efficient action of the U.S. Secret Service."
