Could the US midterms further isolate Israel in Washington?
The midterms showed that challenging support for Israel can win votes. But changing US foreign policy may be harder.
Former Biden official Phil Gordon has warned that US financial aid to Israel may become politically unsustainable after the Democrats' sweeping victory in the US midterm elections. Gordon, who served as national security adviser to Kamala Harris, believes that American public support for providing financial assistance to Israel has declined, making it an unsustainable position within the Democratic party.
He noted that the election was a rejection of President Donald Trump's domestic and foreign policies, with affordability being a core issue for Americans, and that the war in Israel had contributed to dissatisfaction with the current government. Gordon's assessment comes as Israel faces an increasingly complicated political environment in Washington following the Democrats' significant gains in the midterm elections.
