Analysts said the Republican losses in the recent U. S. midterm elections could shift American policy toward Israel, potentially affecting aid, arms sales and diplomatic support.

Israeli officials have urged the formation of a unity government as the United States, now led by a Democratic-controlled Congress, reassesses its stance on Israel amid concerns that the new balance could intensify the regional conflict with Iran. The shift follows a series of electoral outcomes that saw progressive and anti-Israel candidates win congressional seats, a decline in Jewish voter support for Democrats in New York, and the loss of a governing majority for Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, prompting warnings of political repercussions for his government.
