Support for Iran war among ‘connected’ US Jews falls again, poll finds

The survey highlights that two-thirds of Jewish participants believe that ceasing hostilities with Iran would not be compatible with Israel's national security interests. This sentiment underscores the prevailing view among many Israelis that the current geopolitical landscape does not favor a cessation of military actions against Iran.

In addition to concerns about national security, the survey also sheds light on Israelis' apprehensions regarding international perceptions. A significant 72 percent of respondents expressed worry about the increasingly negative attitudes towards Israel among Americans.

This concern reflects the broader implications of the conflict on Israel's diplomatic relations and its image on the global stage. The survey further reveals skepticism about the prospects for regional peace, particularly in relation to Lebanon.

Approximately two-thirds of those surveyed doubt the feasibility of reaching a stable agreement with Lebanon that includes the disarmament of Hezbollah, a key player in the region's complex security dynamics. These findings come amid an ongoing military campaign involving the United States and Israel against Iran, which began in early March 2026.

The conflict has heightened tensions in the Middle East, with various actors weighing the potential outcomes of continued hostilities. The survey results suggest that while there is a desire for peace, many Israelis remain cautious about the terms and timing of any potential resolution.

The interplay between national security concerns and international diplomatic relations continues to shape public opinion in Israel as the conflict with Iran persists.
