Gaza's Shadow on Leaders
Areeb al-Rantawi believes the repercussions of the war that began in Gaza and spread to other arenas have affected American and Israeli voters. Rising fuel prices have hit Americans in the pocket, while Israelis have been worn down by the continued call-up of reserve forces and a declining sense of security. He says this has contributed to electoral losses for Trump and the Republicans and weakened Netanyahu’s standing after the Knesset elections, as the chances of his coalition breaking apart grow and his rivals gain ground. The article warns that electoral losses do not mean the danger of war is receding. Trump may seek to escalate abroad, while Netanyahu may try to push for a new confrontation with Iran to improve his chances of remaining in power. It concludes that shifts in public opinion will not quickly change the policies of Washington or Israel, and that the region may face further threats despite voters’ rebukes of the two leaders.
