People in the Middle East answer who they think will be a better US president for them – Kamala Harris or Donald Trump.
Israel’s war on Gaza has grown increasingly unpopular in the United States, especially among young Americans.
Still, both the Democrat and Republican leadership have insisted they fully support Israel, even as they offer some calls for an end to the conflict, which has spread to Lebanon.
In the US, many Arab and Muslim Americans, as well as other pro-Palestinian progressives, hold the administration of President Joe Biden and Vice President Kamala Harris – who is the Democratic candidate for the presidency – responsible for not doing more to stop the bloodshed. Many say they cannot vote for the candidate in the election, even if Republican candidate Donald Trump has firmly been in the pro-Israel camp.
That has led to a fierce debate over what the best course of action should be for those who want Israel to be forced to stop its military attacks on the Palestinians and Lebanese.
But what about in the places most affected by the policy of whoever the American people will choose to be their next president on November 5? Al Jazeera asked several people in Gaza, the occupied West Bank and Lebanon. Here’s what they had to say.
