Bipartisan support grows for reconsidering U.S.-Israel ties

Democrats and Republicans might be deeply split after the midterms, but a growing number agree on one big idea: The era of unquestioned U.S. support for Israel needs to end.

In both parties, some strategists note that voters have delivered two drubbings, in 2024 and 2026, to leaders — former vice president Kamala Harris and now President Donald Trump — who hewed too closely to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and his policies.
