The impact of the war on Gaza on the US presidential election

Abstract

The War on Gaza, caused by a recurring occupation of Palestinian land by Israel, has long been a focal point of international attention and debate. The escalation of killings and wanton destruction of Palestinian land and people in the ongoing genocide in Gaza has not only had profound humanitarian implications for the Palestinian people but has also reverberated across the global political landscape, including in the context of U.S. presidential elections. This article provides an analytical examination of the impact of the Massacre in Gaza on U.S. presidential elections, with a focus on the electoral dynamics, public opinion, and policy responses. Through a comprehensive review of literature and analysis of electoral outcomes, this article explores the ways in which the War on Gaza has influenced electoral campaigns, candidate positions, and voter perceptions, and assesses its implications for U.S. foreign policy towards the Middle East.
