US President Donald Trump has sparked global debate by appearing to be more concerned about Israel's declining global image than the humanitarian crisis in Gaza, which critics are calling a "genocide." In a recent interview, Trump urged Prime Minister Netanyahu to “finish the job” in Gaza but warned that Israel is losing the war for international public support. As pro-Palestinian sentiment grows globally, Trump acknowledged fading support for Israel—even among Republicans—and criticised Israel’s once-dominant lobby in US Congress. His comments come amid escalating global calls for a ceasefire and recognition of a Palestinian state.
