Slump in voters’ support for Israel shakes US consensus over military aid
AI Summary
Growing disapproval of Israel's actions in the Middle East is impacting the long-standing bipartisan support for US military aid to Israel. Public opinion is shifting, particularly among Democrats, due to concerns over human rights and the conduct of the war in Gaza. This shift is evident in Senate votes, where increasing numbers of Democrats are supporting resolutions against arms sales to Israel. Analysts suggest that by the 2028 presidential election, Democratic candidates may need to openly disavow US aid to Israel to win the primary. This change is also influenced by anger over Donald Trump's policies regarding Iran.
