Israel was written off too early - what is really happening in the US

The article argues that the notion of Israel losing US support is exaggerated. Columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon believes social media distort the picture. Support among Republicans is high and has strengthened. In the Democratic Party, an anti-Israel wing is growing, which could affect the Jewish electorate.

The article argues that the perception of Israel rapidly losing US support and facing international isolation may be exaggerated. The author cites columnist Batya Ungar-Sargon, who believes social media create a distorted picture: anti-Israel posts are more visible, but the real attitude of Americans is more favorable. Support for Israel among Republicans remains high and, by some estimates, has strengthened compared to the period before October 7. Within the Democratic Party, the influence of anti-Israel politicians is growing, which could affect the Jewish electorate, some of whom may shift to Republicans in the midterm elections. On the international stage, despite pressure, there are examples of expanding ties: Colombia moved its embassy to Jerusalem and recognized Israel's sovereignty over the Golan Heights. Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar links such achievements to a policy of national interests. At the same time, threats remain: Turkey, Saudi Arabia, and Pakistan are increasing coordination, which could change the regional balance. The main uncertainty is the future of American policy and the presidential elections.
