baba News: Israeli & Hebrew news, translated to English

Following the Democratic Party's capture of majorities in both houses of the U.S. Congress, there is an anticipated increase in pressure to re-evaluate military aid to Israel. This sentiment is fueled by progressive and centrist candidates advocating for arms export bans or restrictions. The Democratic majority may use its powers to scrutinize arms transfers and U.S. policy, and to push for investigations into settler violence. Despite these developments, American Jewish voters largely maintained their support for Democrats, prioritizing domestic issues like the future of democracy over Israel.
