Iran's Foreign Minister Abbas Araghchi stated that U.S. President Donald Trump acknowledged a widespread American aversion to Israel. Araghchi shared a segment from Trump's interview on "60 Minutes" where the U.S. President linked Republican losses in the midterm elections to this sentiment. According to Araghchi, Trump "unequivocally admitted that the vast majority of Americans find Israel repulsive." Araghchi suggested Trump did not fully grasp the reason for this dislike, which he attributed to Israel allegedly deceiving American administrations into endless wars, a sentiment also felt in the region. Trump's remarks, made in an interview aired on November 8, indicated that negative American views on Israel, coupled with dissatisfaction over rising gas prices and a general dislike for war, contributed to the Republican Party's defeat in the November 3 midterm elections. Trump specifically cited the potential for war with Iran, fuel prices, and attitudes toward Israel as key factors in the election outcome.
