US contacts with Israeli opposition hint at shift from Netanyahu
Axios reported that the U.S. administration is engaging in unofficial contacts with Israeli opposition leaders due to Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's declining popularity, aiming to protect its interests in the region. Washington fears that the results of recent polls could lead to the formation of an opposition government coalition, with current poll indicators showing Netanyahu at 49 to 53 seats and the opposition between 67 and 70 seats, increasing the likelihood of his reduced chances of forming a new government. Reports also indicate that Trump is avoiding publicly supporting Netanyahu and feels frustrated with his foreign policies, fearing that disagreements could provoke the Israeli opposition and push it toward more difficult confrontation after the elections scheduled for October 27.
