Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is maintaining his strong public support for U.S. President Donald Trump, despite a significant drop in Trump's approval ratings and growing criticism within the Republican party. Recent polls show Trump's approval at a historic low of 34%, with experts predicting he will become politically paralyzed, a "lame duck," following anticipated Republican losses in the upcoming midterm elections. A coalition of Western nations is reportedly forming at the UN to confront Trump, and critical, even mocking, remarks about him are common among senior diplomats. Netanyahu, however, appears unaffected by these developments, continuing his public admiration for Trump without apparent effort to build relationships with key figures in the Democratic Party, who may hold future positions of power in the U.S. administration. This approach is baffling to senior members of the American Jewish community, who note that Republican losses in Congress could further diminish Trump's influence. They believe that a leader of a democratic nation friendly to the U.S., like Israel, should be preparing for such a shift in American politics, a preparation they do not see from Netanyahu.
