Fallout for Tel Aviv
A Democratic victory in securing a House majority is expected to spur legislation targeting settler violence and settlement expansion. The measures could include visa bans and asset freezes, as well as a ban on imports of settlement products. The State Department is also likely to be asked to prepare a report on Israel’s human rights record in the West Bank. These measures are not expected to pass during Donald Trump’s presidency, but they could pave the way for a package of sanctions if Democrats control both Congress and the presidency. Benjamin Netanyahu has warned that Israel should prepare for banking sanctions. The shift reflects changing views among Democratic voters: in October 2023, they favored Israelis over Palestinians by 34% to 16%; by September 2026, they favored Palestinians by 44% to 7%.
