Israel faces new era of sinking US support after election
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's brash campaign posters are still up on Israeli public buses -- images of him, US President Donald Trump and soaring warjets that laud the two leaders attacking Iran together. Neither is now advertising the state of the two countries' alliance. A week after an inconclusive election for Netanyahu, Americans overwhelmingly rejected Trump and chose a Congress led by Democrats who want a tougher approach to Israel, whether on Iran, Gaza or settler violence in the occupied West Bank.
Donald Trump’s announcement that the United States would end military aid to Israel prompted responses from Israeli leaders, according to reports published Nov. 5 to Nov. 7. CyprusNews.eu reported that President Isaac Herzog was shocked, while Xinhua reported that Netanyahu responded. Moneycontrol said Netanyahu’s office described the aid cutoff as evidence of a strong partnership. NBC News referred to a $4 billion aid halt, while Hindustan Times described Trump as suggesting cuts to billions in annual aid; the reports do not say when or how a cutoff would take effect.
