Israel's influence may weaken under the leadership of the US Mid-term elections in the US left Israel aside - The New York Times reports Israel used to enjoy bipartisan support in Washington, but the convincing Democratic victory in the mid-term elections, with some new lawmakers expressing deep criticism of the war in Gaza, has resulted in Israel having fewer allies in Congress, the New York Times reports. Billions of dollars in annual military aid from the US are now under threat of being cut. The election results were announced at a time of uncertainty related to the elections in Israel and a possible new wave of conflict with Iran. On Election Day, Trump said he would cut nearly $4 billion in annual aid "at the end of the year," even though the current deal runs through 2028. Netanyahu's rivals seized on the election results: the results we see today are exactly the reason why Israel has always sought to maintain a bipartisan policy towards America," said former ambassador Jeremy Issacharoff, noting that Netanyahu has become "the prime minister of Israel most dependent on the American president. "He can't be trusted anymore, and he must be replaced," said one of the contestants, Gadi Eisenkot. Analysts say the US will remain Israel's most important strategic partner, but the midterm elections "should serve as a signal for more serious work on strengthening relations with all political forces in America.
