Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu is significantly damaging Israel's standing with Americans, according to an Axios report. The deterioration in U.S.-Israel relations has been supercharged by the ongoing conflict with Iran. This shift is now manifesting in Congress, where lawmakers who were once staunchly pro-Israel are becoming increasingly vocal critics.
Israel's polling collapse among younger Americans is now directly impacting Capitol Hill. The bipartisan nature of support for the country is eroding, with some Democrats turning against defensive support they previously backed. This includes funding for systems like Israel's Iron Dome missile defense network.
