How Israelis and Palestinians see the US election

Contributing sentiments towards policy:

66% : It's also the kind of language Trump understands.
50% : With Trump, he says, "the direction would be top-down - he will go straight to Tehran and from there, try to sort out all the different prongs and theatres throughout the Middle East".
45% : Around two-thirds of Israelis would prefer to see Trump back in the White House, according to recent surveys.
35% : "Maybe Trump would play more hardball, and the Iranians would be more hesitant if he was president," said former Israeli ambassador to the US, Danny Ayalon, but he says it is easy to overstate the differences between the two candidates.
32% : "On wider regional issues like Iran, the two candidates have historically had different approaches with Trump recently advising Israel to "hit the nuclear first and worry about the rest later".
27% : "The overall estimation is that the Democrats are bad, but if Trump is elected it'll be even worse," said Mustafa Barghouti, a respected Palestinian analyst and politician in the occupied West Bank.
23% : Both Harris and Trump are now talking about making a new deal to block Iran's path to a nuclear weapon, and both want to expand the normalisation agreements between Israel and neighbouring Arab countries - in particular Saudi Arabia.
