The sweeping victory of the Democrats in the US mid-term elections may mark a significant change in Washington's long-standing support for "Israel", reported the Financial Times. With Democrats expected to control both houses of Congress, growing opposition to war with Iran and unconditional US military aid to "Israel" could reshape Washington's foreign policy. The FT noted that public anger over the war, the rising cost of living, and US support for "Israel" played a significant role in the Republican defeat, with even Vice President J. De Vance recognized the Iran War as a key factor.
