Israel's Standing Wanes
Israeli writer Gili Cohen sees the Republicans’ setback and the Democrats’ control of both houses of Congress as not merely a defeat for Trump, but also a sign of declining positive attitudes toward Israel and growing criticism of it within both parties. She says Trump’s announcement that he would halt the $3.8 billion in annual U.S. aid came as a surprise, while the timing of its termination remains unclear. Ending it at the close of 2026 could cost Israel $7.6 billion under the current agreement. Cohen also linked Israel’s declining standing to U.S. opposition to the war with Iran and to a growing belief among some Americans that Israel drew Washington into the conflict. She concluded that the election results showed the right can lose at the ballot box even under Trump.
