Has Public Opinion Shifted on the War in Gaza?

The article discusses how public opinion on the war in Gaza is shifting, both within Israel and internationally. The Bloomberg Israel bureau chief notes that initial support for the military operation has waned as the conflict continues and civilian casualties mount. Inside Israel, there is growing criticism of the government's handling of the crisis, with some questioning the necessity and effectiveness of the military campaign. Internationally, the Israeli government's efforts to shape the narrative have faced challenges, as images and reports of civilian suffering garner widespread sympathy for the Palestinian people. The article suggests that the prolonged nature of the conflict and the apparent disproportionate use of force by the Israeli military have contributed to the changing perceptions. It also highlights the role of social media in shaping public discourse and the difficulty for the Israeli government in maintaining a positive image amid the ongoing violence.
