Israel Faces Challenge Winning Support of Young People in the West, Netanyahu Admits

TEL AVIV — Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has acknowledged that his government has “work” to do in appealing to young people in Western countries, amid evidence of declining support.

In an interview aired Wednesday on a UK-based podcast, Netanyahu cited recent polls showing waning backing for Israel among younger demographics in Europe and North America.

The admission comes as protests against Israel’s military actions in Gaza have become increasingly frequent in Western capitals, drawing large crowds of young demonstrators. Analysts suggest that ongoing tensions in the region and widespread media coverage may be influencing public opinion abroad, particularly among the youth.

Netanyahu’s comments highlight the diplomatic and public relations challenges Israel faces internationally as it navigates complex regional conflicts and global scrutiny.
