️🇺🇸🇮🇱 Axios: Some of US President Trump's closest advisers believe his Middle East agenda could be easier to advance under an Israeli government without his far-right coalition partners Benjamin Netanyahu, despite Trump's public support for the Israeli prime minister ahead of Tuesday's election.

According to reports, several advisers opposed Trump's meddling in the Israeli election, while Vice President J. De Vance said he would no longer interfere in foreign elections following the endorsement of Hungary's Viktor Orbán, who subsequently lost his election.

The election may also shape Washington's next steps in Iran, with Trump facing a decision on whether to join Netanyahu in renewed military action after the Israeli elections and the US midterms.

Polls indicate that Netanyahu's coalition will not secure a parliamentary majority, which raises the possibility of a political deadlock.
