An Institute for Middle East Understanding Policy Project/YouGov poll found that millions who voted for Joe Biden in 2020 stayed home because of Gaza.

A poll released Tuesday by the Institute for Middle East Understanding conducted by YouGov ranked the war in Gaza as a top issue for Democratic-leaning voters who stayed home in 2024 rather than voting in some of the key swing states that were won back by Donald Trump after he lost them four years prior.

Among Biden 2020 voters who did not cast their ballots for Harris, 29% said “ending Israel’s violence in Gaza” was the main factor affecting their vote — making it the most cited issue among several options, according to a poll by YouGov and the Institute for Middle East Understanding (IMEU) Policy Project released Jan. 15.

Vice President Kamala Harris spoke with Israeli President Isaac Herzog on Thursday, thanking him for his partnership and friendship. This was their 12th conversation since she took office. According to a White House readout Harris reaffirmed her “unwavering commitment to the security of Israel.

A poll by the Institute for Middle East Understanding showed that VP Harris' support for Israel's attacks in Gaza decreased turnout.

This 42-day ceasefire aims to halt the 15-month conflict and facilitate the release of hostages held by Hamas.

During both calls, Harris noted her “unwavering” dedication to the security of Israel and ending the suffering of the Gazan people.

The deal is set to pause fighting in Gaza for six weeks as well as lead to the release of 33 hostages and hundreds of Palestinian prisoners.

A ceasefire deal between Israel and Hamas to free hostages and end Gaza fighting is being claimed as a win by Trump and Biden.

President Joe Biden and President-elect Donald Trump are both claiming credit for Israel and Hamas agreeing to a ceasefire deal in Gaza after the White House brought Trump’s Middle East envoy into negotiations that have dragged on for months.

Mediated by the United States during Trump's first term in the White House, the Abraham Accords are a series of bilateral agreements on the normalization of relations between Israel and several Arab nations. Arab nations that are signatories of the Abraham Accords include Bahrain, the United Arab Emirates, Morocco and Sudan.

CBS tapped a veteran executive to help tackle “perceived bias” at the Tiffany Network and its flagship show “60 Minutes” – including Sunday’s report on the war in Gaza that critics slammed for being “one-sided” against Israel.
