US Midterms Signal Israel's Waning Bipartisan Support in America

deccanherald.com —

Israeli midterm results revealed a sharp decline in bipartisan U.S. support for Israel, challenging Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's reliance on President Trump and threatening billions in annual military aid.

Trump's surprise pledge to cut nearly $4 billion in annual aid by year's end, despite a 2028 agreement, sparked domestic political backlash. Netanyahu's rivals blamed his Republican-focused strategy for the fallout, urging a return to bipartisan ties. Analysts say Israel must rebuild relationships across the American political spectrum to secure its strategic partnership.
