Israel’s conflict is divided
Written by Jonathan Allen and Henry J. Gomez
When Israeli ammunition was rocked on Thursday evening, Maga noticed President Donald Trump’s rare silence – a mark, influential Republicans say about the gap inside their party when it comes to the possibility of a war between Israel and Iran.
It took Trump, which publicly hangs more than any president in modern memory, about 10 hours to put out a statement On the social truth platform, in which Iran urged to abandon the nuclear weapons program.
The first official evaluation of the United States was issued by the White House under the name of Foreign Minister Marco Rubio, and confirmed that America was “not involved” in the strikes.
Meanwhile, Charlie Kerk, co -founder of Turning Point Usa, His followers explored 5 million x Regarding whether America should “participate in the Israel war against Iran.” By Friday noon, the poll showed more than 350,000 votes, with a huge percentage of the “no” column.
When Kirk Rubio’s Bayan Rubio read on strikes during a podcast on Thursday night, Jacques Buswobic, a common right -wing activist with the Maga fans, to intervene It was not a “supportive statement at all.” Earlier on Thursday, before the strikes, Posobiec was Beware of X “The direct strike on Iran at the present time would be disastrously divided by the Trump alliance.”
Steve Bannon, the “War Chamber” host, which is affected by the Maga followers inside and outside the administration, moved away from public comments on Thursday night.
All of this adds to a demonstration of the dilemma facing Trump, as he and the other elected republics are looking for safe political grass.
Trump’s electoral success condemns in a small part in the “First America” platform and his bad criticism of his American participation in Iraq and Afghanistan.
However, the latest movement of Israel stimulates the traditional Republican support of the Jewish state – and its generosity towards Iran – against the fear of the Maga base that the United States would be attracted to a new foreign war. Even inside the Trump Maga wing, there is a long division of American support for Israel. Trump has always been on the pro -Israel side of the gap.

Annexing our latest coverage of Israel’s conflict, Iran:
California approvals provide pressure test for one of the most important Trump issues
Written by Christine Wilker
The continuous protests in Los Angeles and the legal confrontation dominated President Donald Trump’s decision of the California National Guard forces in California the necessity of the main headlines this week, providing a test of pressure to the president in one of his signing cases.
The migration was constantly one of Trump’s bright points when it came to his reconnaissance numbers. Even when the Americans are tired of dealing with economics and inflation For its first 100 days In his position, they tended to divide his dealings with immigration.
It may still be too early to measure what the Americans feel about the widespread immigration raids and the decision to deploy the National Guard forces on the objections of the Democratic Governor Gavin News, because the events are still revealing.
But new Reuters-Barbas poll The chest indicates that some cracks may appear. Half of the exploratory Americans said they did not agree to the president’s response to the protests in Los Angeles, where 35 % and 15 % agreed to say they are not sure or did not answer.
A similar share of Americans (49 %) said that Trump has gone away with the arrest of migrants, while 40 % do not think he went away, and 11 % are not sure or not answered. (The poll was conducted from 11 to 12 June and has an error margin +/- 3 percentage points.)
About half of the Americans (48 %) said that the president should spread the “army” to bring violent protests, “while 41 % say he should not do so, and 11 % were not sure or did not answer. California leaders questioned Trump’s claims that Los Angeles’s protests were violent, saying The “majority” was peaceful.
The investigative studies conducted at a time when Los Angeles’s protests were revealed, with more results.
A Cohenybac University pollWhich was in the field from 5 to 9 June, found a majority of registered voters who refuse Trump’s treatment of deportation (56 % do not agree and agree to 40 %) and migration on a large scale (43 % agreed to 54 %), although immigration is still one of Trump’s best issues. (The reconnaissance was a mistake from +/- 2.8 points).
and Economic/Yougov Survey June 6-9 found that the Americans gave Trump a positive classification on his dealings with immigration, with 49 % approval and 45 % of rejection. This survey, which had a mistake from +/- 3.5 points, found different levels of support for deportation, with less support for deportation of those who did not commit violent crimes.
On Sunday, we will have a set of our numbers. Steve Cornky will join “Meet The Press” to empty the NBC News Resolution Office, supported by Surveymonkey, who will discuss the opinions of Americans for Trump’s presidency, including his dealings with immigration and other issues. We will also discuss the latest in Los Angeles and the future of Trump’s sweeping local policy bill with Sens. Adam Schiff, D-Calif. , Rand Paul, R-Ky.
✉ Postparton: What is the cost of Trump’s procession?
Thanks to everyone who is sent to us via email! The reader’s question this week is about Military parade this weekend In Washington, DC
“How much will it cost? Who agreed to spend?”
To answer this, we moved to the national security correspondent Gordon Lobold. This is his response:
The estimated cost of the review was about $ 45 million by the US military, which is paid to a set of things required to put it It is like the transfer of a large number of tanks, helicopters and vehicles in addition to nearly 7,000 soldiers that were brought from all over the country to participate and provide support to the big event.
The offer is celebrated by the 250th Army’s birthday, which falls on President Donald Trump’s birthday. While the show is the central event, the army plans for many other events, including the stations of the Americans to see many of its cars, drones and other things, areas of group training, running, and even a jump by the army’s golden parasol team, and allowing the weather.
The estimated cost includes a cost of $ 3 million to install large metal panels on some streets in the country’s capital to alleviate the damage expected to be caused by tank paths. The $ 45 million also includes a $ 16 million estimate of street repair and other damage to the city after the event, which is expected to draw up to 200,000 people or more.
