Only 28 percent of Israelis think their country’s security is one of US President Donald Trump’s main considerations — a drop from 44% last month, according to a poll by the Israel Democracy Institute released on Tuesday.

The finding came more than four months after the US and Israel jointly launched a war against the Iranian regime, and amid concerns from Israeli officials over the Trump administration’s negotiations with the Islamic Republic to permanently end that conflict.

The poll found that just 26% of Jewish Israelis and 36% of Arab Israelis think that Israel’s security is one of Trump’s main considerations, marking a record low of 28% of Israelis overall.

When the views of Jewish Israelis are broken down by political beliefs, the survey showed that a majority across the spectrum do not believe Trump is prioritizing their security — 81% of those on the left, 73% in the center, and 65% of those on the right.

In March, 64% of Jewish Israelis thought Trump prioritized their security, the IDI noted.

The poll also found just 38% of Israelis believe the country is in a better strategic situation today than it was before Israel........
