Analysis: Democrats flooded the polls, but the US midterms are not the end of Israel

Amir Bogen, writing for Ynet, argues that the anxiety in Israel regarding the US midterm results is largely based on a misunderstanding of American voter priorities. He asserts that the primary drivers for the Democratic wave were domestic issues such as the cost of living and opposition to Donald Trump, rather than foreign policy. Bogen notes that while anti-Israel elements exist within the Democratic Party, the majority of the new representatives are moderate and pragmatic. He contends that the opposition from many Democrats is directed at the current Israeli government under Benjamin Netanyahu and its nationalist policies, rather than the state itself. The analysis concludes that repairing the relationship with Washington requires a change of government in Jerusalem to restore lost trust.
