Trump’s Republicans scramble to prevent Democratic gains in midterms
A big Democratic win would kick start the post-Donald Trump era and could even begin the race to replace him in 2028.
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu urged US President Donald Trump to attack Iran immediately following the midterm elections, according to a report by Axios. The sources cited by Axios included an Israeli and a US source. The report stated that Netanyahu wanted to return to combat, while Trump was open to allowing negotiations to continue.
Trump confirmed their conversation with Netanyahu but declined to provide further details. Trump stated that they had a "very good conversation" and mentioned that Iran negotiations were going well. However, The Jerusalem Post reported that some of Trump's team was shifting back towards attacking Iran after other methods had been tried to obtain concessions from Iran.
The US has also increased its military presence in the region, sending over 10 military transport aircraft to Israel in the past week.
