## Summary

US Republican Vice President J. D. Vance linked his party’s midterm defeat partly to the war launched by Donald Trump and Benjamin Netanyahu against Iran. The result has intensified concern in Israel about its relationship with Washington, especially after Trump announced an end to US military aid.

Israeli President Isaac Herzog said he was deeply concerned, while commentators described a generational shift in American politics, with more politicians questioning support for Israel. Vance cited changing views on Israel among four factors behind Republican voters’ shift towards Democrats. In Israel, opposition leader Gadi Eisenkot gained backing equivalent to 67 of parliament’s 120 seats, while a Netanyahu coalition partner abstained.
