Israeli politician Yair Lapid weighed in on the Democratic victory over the Republicans in the mid-term of the US and said that Israel has allies due to the leadership within the Democratic Party.
"The Democrats captured both houses tonight. what does that mean This means that there is an urgent need for leadership and a work plan, not political panic. The House of Representatives will be led by Hakeem Jeffries. The Senate will be led by Chuck Schumer. Both are friends of mine, and both voted with Israel this year even when the majority of their committee voted the other way. They are exactly the kind of leaders Israel needs to know how to work with, even if we don't agree on everything. ".
