Negotiations for the next US aid agreement to Israel, set to replace the current one in 2029, have already commenced. The outcome of the upcoming elections in both Israel and the United States could significantly impact this crucial agreement, which is valued at $3.8 billion annually.
President Donald Trump has publicly endorsed Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, calling him a "brave and brilliant" partner. This support comes despite growing criticism in the US regarding Israel's conduct in the West Bank and Gaza. However, the future of the aid package faces uncertainty. If Netanyahu's government, which reportedly advocates for canceling the current agreement, remains in power, coupled with a potential strengthening of Democrats in the US midterm elections, the aid deal could be terminated.
The article suggests that the elections themselves could alter this trajectory. This situation highlights the potential loss of American support that Israel's security establishment might face.
