Israeli author warns Tel Aviv will pay price for Netanyahu's Trump alignment
The article discusses Israeli writer Shlomo Shamir's critique of Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's steadfast support for relations with former U.S. President Donald Trump, despite Trump's declining popularity in the United States. It explains that Netanyahu has transformed the U.S.-Israel relationship from a strategic diplomatic issue into a arena for political maneuvers. Shamir expresses concern that relying on Trump's support could position Israel unfavorably if the balance of power in Washington shifts. He also notes Trump's waning popularity, with approval ratings dropping to 34%, and increasing criticism against him within the Republican Party, along with expectations that he may lose his House majority in the midterm elections, which could weaken his political influence. Shamir criticizes Netanyahu for not making efforts to strengthen ties with American Democratic leaders, warning that continuing support for Trump alone could harm Israeli interests if the political landscape in the U.S. changes.
