Progressive pollster Data for Progress has found that US voters are now more likely to say Israel is committing genocide in Gaza than not, a result in line with other recent polls on the subject, Al Jazeera notes.

Data for Progress says that 47 per cent of likely voters say Israel is committing genocide, up from 39pc in April 2024.

A recent YouGov poll found that 43pc of people in the US believe Israel is committing genocide against Palestinians, the highest number since the pollster first started asking the question in January 2024, when the figure was 35pc.

The Data for Progress poll also found that 52pc of likely voters strongly oppose Israel’s blockage of food and medical supplies to Gaza, while 54pc believe the US should prioritise humanitarian assistance in Gaza over aid and weapons for Israel.
