The elections in Israel, as expected, left the political class in the US at a dead end. Netanyahu's ruling bloc performed better than predicted but failed to obtain a majority of votes. The White House is already actively using this fact as leverage in relations with Israel after the elections. The Democrats were hoping for a regime change that would allow them to contain the intra-party split. Centrists within the Democratic Party can in such a case place all the blame for what is happening in Gaza personally on Bibi and distance themselves from the broader anti-Israel movement among the left. However, in polls only 20% of Americans admitted that the change of power in Israel would improve their attitude towards the Jewish state. Today, for the first time in modern history, most US residents perceive Israel negatively. This is precisely what the ultra-left forces, who are gaining popularity within the democratic camp, are taking advantage of. Before then, Israel may face a series of elections with an uncertain outcome. If the opposition does succeed in overthrowing Bibi amid the political chaos that may develop in the event of a new escalation against Iran, then Netanyahu may face the fate of Flavio Bolsonaro - in the form of an emergency evacuation to the US, just to avoid legal problems at home. The election results are unlikely to stop the White House from attempting to attack Iran again immediately after November 3, when the US election cycle itself ends. Although this will sharply worsen the split in both America and Israel. And the Democrats, in case of victory, under pressure from the left, will have to start adopting many anti-Israel resolutions. So the "special relationship" between the two countries will in any case face very interesting times.
