Dr. Kobi Barda, an expert on US political history, warns in an interview with 103FM that Israel is expected to face unprecedented American legislation against it, especially against settlements in Judea and Samaria. According to him, following the Democratic victory in the midterm elections, Congress and the Senate are under their control, and sentiment against Israel is growing. Barda cites a resolution proposal by Democratic senators instructing the State Department to establish an investigative committee into the deaths of 9 Palestinian-American citizens since 2022, demanding a halt to arms shipments to Israel until explanations are provided. He attributes the Republican defeat to rising fuel prices following the war in Iran, which caused a mass exodus of voters. Barda appeals to Liberman, who resides in Nokdim, to act to prevent sanctions. He downplays the influence of Vice President Vance as long as Trump is president.
