Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu acknowledged in a UK podcast interview that Israel faces significant challenges in winning support among young people in Western countries. Recent polls show a dramatic decline in favorable views of Netanyahu and Israel's actions in Gaza among those aged 18 to 34, with only a small percentage expressing approval. Netanyahu attributed the opposition to a broader campaign against the West and reiterated claims of an orchestrated plot, though he did not specify who was behind it. Meanwhile, Israel's defense minister has approved new military operations in Gaza, intensifying pressure on Hamas as efforts for a ceasefire continue. Netanyahu also praised United States President Donald Trump for his unwavering support of Israel, contrasting him with European leaders who have shown increasing support for Palestinian statehood.
