Israel's opposition Democrats congratulated the US Democratic Party on their midterm election victories, expressing hope for a swift improvement in bilateral relations which they claim have suffered significantly under Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's right-wing government. The liberal party stated that if they were to form a government, they would reorient Israel's policy towards Palestinians and Arab states, emphasizing that resolving the conflict is in Israel's primary interest and a cornerstone of US Middle East policy.
Such a resolution, the Democrats believe, would enable the establishment of a new regional security architecture to counter threats from Iran and terrorism. The party also invoked the legacy of former Prime Minister Yitzhak Rabin, assassinated 31 years prior on November 4, 1995, by a Jewish extremist. They highlighted Rabin's strategy of "security through diplomatic agreements and an uncompromising fight against the enemies of peace," alongside close cooperation with the US.
Democrats' Chairman Yair Golan stated that the US election results demonstrate how "toxic Netanyahu has become" to both Democrats and Republicans. He warned that Netanyahu and far-right Minister of National Security Itamar Ben-Gvir remaining in power could lead Israel toward "international sanctions, international isolation, and a confrontation with the United States, our friend and most important ally." Golan called for the swift formation of a "government of change."
