(CNN) Grace Sparks - Polling shows the Israeli-Palestinian conflict is barely registering as a top foreign policy concern for most Americans. Only 17% of Americans said that finding a solution to the conflict was a top foreign policy priority in a November 2018 Pew Research survey - the lowest number since Pew started asking the question in 1993. In 2011, the last time the question was asked, 23% of Americans rated it as a top priority, while in January 2003 [during the Second Intifada], 38% called it a top priority. 72% of Americans said the top foreign policy priority should be to protect the U.S. from terrorism. The next two were protecting jobs of American workers (71%) and preventing the spread of weapons of mass destruction (66%).
