Biden knocked over Israel-Hamas war – Survey

US President, Joe Biden, has received criticism over the way he handled the Israel-Hamas war.

This is according to a survey in 34 countries by Pew Research Center, a nonpartisan fact tank that informs the public about issues.

It was conducted prior to Biden announcing a proposal to end the Israel-Hamas war.

Findings from the survey were made known in a statement by the center on Saturday.

• JUST IN: We halted Durbar activities in the interest of peace – Ado Bayero

According to the statement, the survey also asked people about their confidence in French President, Emmanuel Macron; Russian President, Vladimir Putin; and Chinese President, Xi Jinping.

The statement read in part: “Confidence in Xi and Putin is generally low across the countries surveyed. But the views of Xi are not negative everywhere. Half or more in Nigeria, Kenya, Bangladesh, Malaysia, Singapore, Thailand and Tunisia have confidence in him.

“Nigerians’ views of Putin are more negative. While 40% have confidence in the Russian president, 48% express not much or no confidence in him. People in Nigeria are roughly split in their ratings of Emmanuel Macron: 45% trust him to do the right thing regarding world affairs, while 40% do not.

“On Biden’s handling of five major international issues, he gets his most negative reviews on how he’s dealt with the Israel-Hamas war. Of the issues included in the survey, this ranks lowest in most of the surveyed countries, including Nigeria, Kenya, Ghana and South Africa.

“In nearly every country surveyed, fewer than half approve of the way he has been dealing with the Israel-Hamas war. The only exception is in Kenya, where a majority sees Biden’s handling of the war in a positive light. (Note that our survey was conducted prior to Biden announcing a proposal to end the Israel-Hamas war.)”
