> After Democrats won control of Congress in the US midterms, Israeli opposition politicians blamed Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu for weakening US support for Israel and promised to strengthen bipartisan ties with Washington if they form the next government. Yair Lapid said Israel could not afford Netanyahu staying in office, while Yair Golan warned his far-right government could bring sanctions, isolation and confrontation with the United States.
