Contributing sentiments towards policy:

57% : Key to that plan is Israel's stated aim, backed by Trump, to wrest the function of aid delivery from NGOs in favour of commercial companies.
56% : By raising their voices in support of a humanitarian intervention, those who have facilitated Israel's brutality in Gaza by labelling concerned others as anti-Semites might atone for having aided and abetted human slaughter.
50% : On Monday, the Integrated Food Security Phase Classification (IPC), a joint venture by UN agencies, NGOs and governments that measures whether famine is happening, said 470,000 Gazans fit its "phase five - catastrophe" classification.
48% : Therefore, the Government should bypass it and table a motion at the UN assembly for Israel to lift the blockade and, if not, for the UN to urgently deploy a mission to deliver supplies to Gaza by air drops and sea flotillas.
26% : When Donald Trump suggested, in January, that Gaza should be depopulated, Israel's finance minister Bezalel Smotrich vowed to devise a "plan to implement this as soon as possible".
