The occupied West Bank and Jerusalem witnessed an escalation in settler attacks over the past 24 hours, including attacks on Palestinian homes, incursions into agricultural land, and the release of livestock onto Palestinian land.

### 20\. Gaza shifts American public opinion: sympathy for Palestinians surpasses sympathy for Zionists for the first time

For the first time in more than a quarter of a century, Palestinians have surpassed Zionists in terms of sympathy among American public opinion. This notable shift is primarily linked to the Zionist genocidal war on the Gaza Strip and the scenes of destruction, killing, and displacement that accompanied it, as well as growing criticism within the United States of American political and military support for the occupying entity.

The latest poll conducted by the U.S. Quinnipiac University showed that 38% of respondents sympathized more with Palestinians, compared with 35% who leaned toward sympathy with Zionists, while 27% had not made up their minds. This is the first time since the university began asking the question in December 2001 that the percentage sympathizing with Palestinians has exceeded that sympathizing with Zionists.
