According to a new poll conducted by YouGov Research on March 7, a new poll commissioned by the Center for Economic and Policy Research, a U.S. think tank, showed that 52 percent of Americans agreed that the United States should stop deliveries to Israel until Israel stops its attacks on Gaza. The number of dissupportives is 27%, and another 21% are unsure.

According to the report, polls show significant divisions between parties. Of those who voted for Biden in 2020, 62% agreed that "the U.S. should stop delivering** to Israel until Israel stops its attacks on the people of Gaza," with only 14% disagreeing. 24% of Biden supporters remain unsure.

In contrast, only 30 percent of Trump supporters support a halt to U.S. shipping**, while the majority (55 percent) oppose and another 15 percent say uncertain.

Of those who did not vote in the 2020 election (a key group of voters that includes both Democrats and Republicans and are likely to vote this year), 60 percent agreed that the United States should stop shipping, only 17 percent disagreed, and 23 percent were unsure.

According to the report, the survey went further than other recent polls because it specifically asked about getting the U.S. to stop deliveries to Israel, while previous polls showed that a majority of Americans supported a "ceasefire" in Gaza.

Mark Weissbrodt, co-director of the Center for Economic and Policy Studies, said: "A ceasefire can mean different things to different people, but support for stopping ** deliveries is specific and clear. ”

Two weeks ago, EU High Representative for Foreign Affairs and Security Policy Josep Borrell told the United States that they have the authority to end Palestinian civilian deaths, the report said. "If you think too many people are being killed, maybe you should offer less," he said. Compiled by Xie Kaihua).
