“Nearly two years into the war in Gaza, American support for Israel has undergone a seismic reversal, with large shares of voters expressing starkly negative views about the Israeli government’s management of the conflict,” a new New York Times/Siena poll finds.

“In the aftermath of the Hamas-led attacks on Israel on Oct. 7, 2023, American voters broadly sympathized with Israelis over Palestinians, with 47% siding with Israel and 20% with Palestinians. In the new poll, 34% said they sided with Israel and 35% with Palestinians. Thirty-one percent said they were unsure or backed both equally.”

“Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu agreed Monday to a deal to end the war in Gaza that was proposed by President Donald Trump, amid a fresh push by the White House to halt two years of bitter war,” the Washington Post reports.

“The step toward peace still requires agreement by Hamas.”
 
“Trump called it ‘a beautiful day, potentially one of the great days ever in civilization,’ speaking alongside Netanyahu following hours of meetings at the White House.”

President Trump would chair an international “board of peace” to govern and reconstruct the Gaza Strip as part of a 20-point plan released Monday by the White House, describing an end to the war between Israel and Hamas and a transition toward peace, The Hill reports.

Stephen Miller is one of the primary officials behind the U.S. strikes on alleged Venezuelan drug boats, The Guardian reports.

“Miller’s role also opens a window into the dubious legal justification that has been advanced for the strikes, which has been a matter of deep controversy amid allegations it amounted to extrajudicial murder in international waters.”

Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu called Qatari Prime Minister Mohammed bin Abdulrahman Al Thani and apologized for violating Qatari sovereignty in Israel’s recent strike on Doha, Axios reports.

He also expressed regret for the killing of a Qatari security officer.
