A recent Pew poll found that among white evangelicals, Trump’s and Israel’s most ardent base, favorable views of the Israeli government have dropped 10 points, from 67 to 57%, since 2019. A Fox News poll found white evangelicals nearly evenly split on approval of Trump’s handling of the Iran war, 50-49%. Wallnau speculated that in his meeting on Tuesday with Trump, Netanyahu gave the president intelligence about Pickaxe Mountain, which Trump has threatened to bomb, and Iran’s nuclear program. (Perhaps the Fox News poll finding evangelical dissatisfaction with Trump’s handling of the Iran war is driven, in part, by some who believe he’s been insufficiently bellicose.) We see it in Netanyahu’s attempt to foment an evangelical anxiety about their shared persecutors — the left — with Jews.
