Could the US midterms further isolate Israel in Washington?
Al Jazeera's Caolán Magee examines whether the Democratic midterms sweep of 3 November 2026 will further isolate Israel in Washington. The war on Iran has cost the US $47bn and soaring fuel prices, and Michigan senator-elect Abdul El-Sayed — who called for ending US military aid to Israel — won despite $31.47m in AIPAC spending against him. Donald Trump says Washington will end annual military aid after 2026 but plans to veto Democratic policies, and analysts doubt the two-thirds majority needed to override him.
