Mark Zell, head of the Republican Party's Israeli branch, stated that the upcoming US midterm elections will create a two-month strategic window for both US President Donald Trump and Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu. According to Channel 14, this period will allow the leaders to focus on directly confronting the Iranian regime and limiting its capabilities. Zell made these remarks in an interview after observing the vote count for the Knesset elections.
Zell explained that currently, the US president is fully occupied with defending Republican positions in Congress and campaigning across the country. He noted Trump's significant efforts to reshape the domestic and foreign agenda, as well as his influence on Middle Eastern political dynamics. However, Zell emphasized that once the US election campaign concludes, Washington and Jerusalem will have a brief timeframe to address key objectives concerning Tehran.
Regarding potential actions, Zell personally believes that the primary goal could be the overthrow of the clerical regime in Iran. He also commented on the possibility of US interference in Israeli domestic politics and coalition formation, dismissing suggestions of strong pressure from the American administration. Zell asserted that forming a government remains Israel's sovereign right. Nevertheless, he did not rule out potential tacit US support if it aids political forces in reaching regional agreements.
