A majority of Israeli Jews believe that former US President Donald Trump would serve the Jewish state’s interest better than Democratic candidate Vice President Kamala Harris, according to a survey published on Monday.
The poll, conducted by the Israel Democracy Institute’s Viterbi Family Center for Public Opinion and Policy Research, who questioned more than 600 people, published less than 24 hours before the presidential vote, suggested that 72 per cent of Jewish Israelis believe that a Republican win would help to advance their country’s interests.
Only 11 per cent of Israeli Jews questioned think a Harris White House would be better.
Among the country’s Arab citizens, almost half of the respondents (46 per cent) said they see no difference between the two candidates, while the rest are divided, with a small edge for Trump (27 per cent compared to 22.5 per cent for Harris).
