NOVEMBER 6 — The electoral devastation suffered by President Donald Trump and the Republican Party in the November 3, 2026; midterm elections cannot be explained by the war with Iran alone.
It was also a repudiation of the manner in which the United States has allowed its relationship with Israel, especially under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to shape American foreign policy, military commitments and domestic political priorities.
Americans did not necessarily vote to abandon Israel as a sovereign state or reject its legitimate security concerns. Rather, a growing proportion of the electorate appears unwilling to accept an almost unconditional strategic relationship that can draw the United States into costly wars without sufficient accountability.
