Israeli political rivals of Benjamin Netanyahu are weaponizing Democrats' capture of the US Congress to argue that his policies have eroded generations of bipartisan American support for Israel, according to Al-Monitor. The opposition portrays the Democratic gains as evidence that Netanyahu has damaged Israel's relationship with a traditionally supportive Democratic party.
The timing coincides with Netanyahu's own political vulnerabilities at home, where he faces mounting legal challenges and coalition pressures. His opponents contend that his governance has narrowed Israel's diplomatic options by alienating a significant portion of American political leadership.
