- A long-time pro-Israel senator was defeated in the Senate elections.

Recent US midterm election results are causing significant concern in Israel, as several candidates who oppose military aid to the Jewish state have been elected to Congress. A long-time supporter of Israel was also defeated in the Senate, while the first Muslim senator, who is not considered friendly to Israel, has been elected.
The outcomes highlight a shift within the Democratic Party, with the rise of candidates advocating for limitations on military assistance potentially increasing pressure on the party's leadership ahead of the 2028 presidential elections. However, these victories do not guarantee an immediate change in US policy, which requires broad congressional support.
One notable figure is Abdul Al-Sayed, a Democratic candidate who has expressed opposition to military aid. His election, alongside others with similar stances, signals a growing faction within the party that may challenge traditional US support for Israel. The article also mentions Brad Lander, a Democratic candidate supported by Al-Sayed, though Lander's specific stance on aid is not detailed.
