End of the alliance without questions? US politicians are starting to speak with one voice regarding Israel

The daily points out that the demand for a change in approach to Israel brings together people who have completely different views on most issues - such as Republican Vice President J.D. Vance and Abdul El-Sayed, Democratic senator-elect.

El-Sayed made limiting support for Israel one of the main demands of his campaign. He wasn't the only person to raise this topic. A number of other Democratic candidates won senatorial seats, including: by criticizing the wars waged by Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and promising to stop arms sales to Israel.

They admit their mistakes

Some representatives of Donald Trump's political camp quickly began to point to his policy towards Israel as one of the reasons for his decline in popularity and deteriorating ratings.

Some political strategists in both parties note that voters twice - in 2024 and 2026 - severely punished leaders at the ballot box: former Vice President Kamala Harris and now President Donald Trump, who were too supportive of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his policies.

The growing support for changes in bilateral relations comes at a time of political upheaval in both the United States and Israel, the newspaper noted.

Sharp criticism of the vice president

On Wednesday, Vance declared that Republicans lost the war because of the war with Iran. He added that some voters would return to the Republican electorate if the party ended the war with Iran, addressed the cost of living and inflation, put America first and changed U.S. relations with Israel.

The Washington Post wrote that there has not been such sharp criticism of Israel from leading Republicans since 1991. As the daily emphasized, the last 30 years have been a period in which unconditional support for Israel has become an almost obligatory element of mainstream US politics in both parties.
