Many countries of the world witnessed demonstrations condemning the Israeli aggression on Gaza (Anatolia)

The American Time magazine said, in its latest issue, that global support for Israel has been declining continuously since October 7, in reference to the escalation of violence in the Gaza Strip and the huge toll of civilian casualties as a result of the Israeli aggression.

The newspaper reported that 42 out of 43 countries witnessed a decline in the support they previously provided to Israel, based on data reported by the magazine from the “Morning Consult” research company.

The research company reached this result through an opinion poll conducted in 43 countries on 6 continents, during the period between last October and December, and the company received thousands of written answers from the respondents.

The results of the survey indicated that many positive opinions about Israel turned negative in China, South Africa, Brazil, and other Latin American countries.

Countries, such as Japan, South Korea, and Britain, also witnessed a decline in support and support for Israel, until negative opinion became prevalent in these countries.

Speaking to TIME, Sonata Frisbie, vice president of the political intelligence department at the company that conducted the survey, said that these data show how difficult the path Israel is currently taking in the international community is.

Support in Washington continues

On the other hand, the United States emerged as the only country where support for Israel continued, despite its decline compared to what it was previously.

However, Washington's support for Israel has a cost on global opinion toward the United States, as data showed that it shifted from positive to negative preference in both Saudi Arabia and Egypt during the same time period.

Countries, including France, Britain, Norway, Ireland and Canada, demand an immediate ceasefire in the Gaza Strip and the entry of sufficient aid for civilians, but Israel insists on continuing the war, with support from the United States.

The ongoing Israeli aggression against the besieged Gaza Strip resulted in the death of 25,295 Palestinians and the injury of 63,000 others, most of them children and women. It also caused massive destruction and an unprecedented humanitarian catastrophe.
