A July 2024 poll showed that a majority of the American public does not support sending U.S. troops to defend Taiwan or Ukraine, sentiment that lines up with findings from other recent surveys on these heated subjects, which suggests that Americans appear to be warming to restraint and non-interventionism in international affairs.
Indeed, another poll, conducted by the Chicago Council on Global Affairs in February found that a majority of Americans (56%) do not believe that the United States should pick a side in Israel’s war on Gaza. And a more recent survey from the Council this month found that just four in ten support the United States sending troops to defend Israel if attacked by its neighbors.
Similarly, Americans’ suspicions of foreign intervention were uncovered in a recent YouGov poll, which found that 79% said that they only support intervention if the U.S. were directly threatened (that number significantly dropped to 49% if an ally were attacked). In the same study, the only recent war that a majority of Americans viewed as justified was World War II.

Israel requests Camp David amendment to keep control of Philadelphi Corridor
Israel has reportedly requested that the 2005 Philadelphi Accord between Israel and Egypt be abolished so that it can maintain a military presence on the Gaza-Egypt border, Al-Araby Al-Jadeed, The New Arab's Arabic-language sister edition, has learned.
Sources said that Israel was pushing for the 2005 agreement to be scrapped with amendments to be made to the 1979 Camp David Accords which would allow for Israeli soldiers to continue to occupy the Philadelphi Corridor - the border area between Egypt and the Gaza Strip, which includes the Rafah Crossing.
However, Egypt rejected the proposal, emphasising its categorical opposition to Israeli forces maintaining any presence in the Philadelphi Corridor.
The discussions reportedly took place during Monday's negotiations in Cairo, as part of broader talks concerning a ceasefire and hostage exchange deal between Israel and Hamas.
