  "summary": "A sweeping Democratic majority in the House and Senate may leave party leaders with little need for Democratic Socialists of America (DSA) votes, which could test the group's willingness to build coalitions beyond their ideological allies, according to Haaretz.\n\nOn The Deep Dive, host Jacob Laznik and political correspondent Shir Perets discussed whether panic over newly elected anti-Israel Democrats is aimed at the wrong target. Laznik suggested the most alarming signal for Israel actually came from within the Republican Party, noting Vice President JD Vance's strategy to \"change our relationship to Israel\" to win back voters. This follows an announcement from President Trump that US aid to Israel will end at the close of 2026, a move Laznik said caught Jerusalem off guard.\n\nPerets cautioned against fear-mongering, noting that fewer than 10% of incoming lawmakers are outspoken opponents of Israel. She also noted that Trump has promised to be \"Mister Veto.\"",
