Democratic Congress May Reshape US Support for Israel

Democrats' takeover of Congress could trigger the biggest reassessment of US support for Israel in decades, driven by progressive opposition to military aid and the Iran war that shaped Tuesday's midterm elections. Democratic control brings scrutiny of Israel aid and West Bank violence, with hearings and challenges to Trump nominees possible, though presidential vetoes limit major policy changes. Republicans also show unease, with Vice President JD Vance citing Israel as an issue for the party. The shift reflects a generational divide, with younger voters less supportive of Israel. Netanyahu's weakened position after October elections may foster cooperation, but Democrats lack veto-proof majorities to force significant policy changes.
