Contributing sentiments towards policy:

53% : The deal being hashed out in Doha, is based on an arrangement first proposed in May 2024 and endorsed by the United Nations Security Council.
52% : With a list of staunchly pro-Israel nominees for positions like Secretary of State, Secretary of Defense, National Security Advisor and Ambassador to Israel, there is little doubt that any repercussions for not reaching a hostage deal would be borne primarily by Hamas and the Palestinians.
39% : But the pressure point that explains why a deal now looks to be imminent is Trump, who has demanded that the hostages be released from captivity before Jan. 20, when he is sworn in as president.
