Four months ago, I wrote1: there is a huge discrepancy in the way that USA President Trump is regarded in his own country and how he is regarded in Israel. For many Israelis, he is extremely popular ... [whereas] his US popularity has declined to about 40% (may be lower) which is very low for an incumbent president.
Now, after a war with Iran that Trump claims that he won although as far as most Israelis are concerned, he lost, the world sees Trump in a much better light whereas 72% of Israelis who were polled in the past few days see Trump as a negative influence.
Everything that he promised back in February did not happen. I sympathise with the Iranian opposition who were promised help in overthrowing a draconian regime but whose situation remains unchanged, if not worsened.
