A Quinnipiac poll indicates that over 40% of Americans view the Israel-Palestinian conflict as a key factor in upcoming House elections, while 60% believe a war with Iran is not worth the cost. This reflects growing domestic political pressure on the US government regarding its foreign policy commitments in the region, potentially constraining future military or diplomatic support for Israel.
