🇺🇸 Polling in the United States has shown significant opposition to Israel among younger Americans, but two Republican Party presidential candidates are promising to help put a stop to that if elected.
“You see students demonstrating in our country in favor of Hamas,” said Gov. Ron DeSantis (R-FL) at a campaign event in Iowa, failing to cite any examples. “Remember, some of them are foreigners,” he added.
DeSantis promised he’d cancel the student visas of such protesters and force them to leave the United States.
Sen. Tim Scott (R-SC) claimed he would deny Pell Grants to universities that failed to address “antisemitism.” The charge is often used uncritically against people who support the rights of Palestinians or criticize Israel.

US officials fear for Abraham Accords’ future amid Gaza crisis
The explosive new round of violence in the three-quarters of a century old Palestinian-Israeli conflict has potentially served to hasten regional geopolitical realignments, with Saudi Arabia putting normalization talks with Israel on hold, and Iran as well as many of America’s Arab allies uniting in condemnation of the IDF’s actions in Gaza.

Biden's $106 bln war chest will pass because ‘no one's going to vote against aid to Israel'

Sputnik reached out to retired US Army Lieutenant Colonel and international geopolitics and military affairs consultant Earl Rasmussen for his take on the situation.
Congress will almost certainly pass President Biden’s massive $106 billion supplemental funding request bundling new assistance for Tel Aviv together with other security spending, because “no one is going to vote against aid to Israel,” Rasmussen told Sputnik.
