As Americans head to the polls for the midterm elections, Israel is bracing for the impact on U.S. aid, Washington's approach to Iran, and President Trump's political standing, according to a report by Itamar Eichner on Ynet. Current projections favor Democrats to win the House of Representatives, while the Senate race remains tight. A dual Democratic victory could allow the party to shape the political agenda, delay funding, and scrutinize administration officials. The report also highlights a growing shift in the Democratic voter base and leadership regarding Israel, noting warnings against open-ended military funding. Furthermore, future negotiations over the bilateral security memorandum of understanding through 2028 and potential political friction could be heavily influenced by the congressional outcomes and future leadership in both nations.
