Netanyahu's Policies Eroded Decades of Bipartisan US Support for Israel
Summarized from The Jerusalem Post by baba
Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's political actions have eroded decades of bipartisan US support for Israel, leading to increased isolation in Washington. A key moment was President Donald Trump's 2026 announcement to end aid, a move seen as undermining the strong bilateral relationship. The author argues that Netanyahu's bypass of the Obama administration in 2015 and subsequent alignment with one US political party turned Israel into a divisive issue. This shift has damaged Israel's standing and requires a change in direction to repair the relationship.
