Israel's Declining Favorability

In the U.S., disapproval increased from 42% to 53% between 2022-2025, with similar trends across Europe and East Asia, particularly among younger demographics. The data indicates a broad erosion of Israel's global image following recent conflicts.

Public confidence in Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is similarly low, as most respondents express little or no trust in his leadership on world affairs.
