Trump-Netanyahu Era Ends
The writer argues that the November 3 elections in the United States and the October 27 elections in Israel dealt a double blow to the project of Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu: Republicans lost control of both chambers of Congress, while Netanyahu’s majority fell from 68 to 53 seats in the 120-seat Knesset. The article sees AIPAC’s setbacks as a central part of the defeat. The organization and its electoral arm spent $84.1 million, of which $55.3 million went to losing candidates, while Abdulrahman al-Sayyed won in Michigan despite more than $30 million being spent against him. According to the writer, the results weakened the project’s pillars—war, financial pressure, and the marginalization of Palestinian and Arab voices—and made further escalation harder to sustain politically. The writer expects the new balance of power to encourage a lasting ceasefire in Gaza, a halt to escalation with Iran, and the opening of a political process under American, Arab, and international auspices, while stressing that a settlement will be neither immediate nor complete.
