A new poll conducted by the University of Maryland's Critical Issues series and published by Responsible Statecraft found a significant shift in US public opinion on "Israel's" war on Gaza. 41% of Americans described "Israel’s" war on Gaza as genocide or war crimes akin to it, while 61% believe US military, economic, and diplomatic backing has enabled "Israel's" atrocities. Here are the poll’s findings on US policy in the Middle East.
Trump to Fox News: Gaza ceasefire reached, prisoners to be freed, Gaza to be reconstructed
In an interview with Fox News’ Hannity program, US President Donald Trump announced that a ceasefire has been reached between Hamas and "Israel", Israeli captives will be freed, Palestinian prisoners will be freed, and Gaza will enter a phase of "reconstruction" under a newly formed "Council of Peace." Trump spoke of regional cooperation and a vision of safety, but Gaza’s streets remain devastated by Israeli destruction, one that no council can rebuild or heal overnight.
