Even President Donald Trump acknowledged that his brand of politics has become a political liability. On election day, even before results were announced, Trump suggested cutting military aid to Israel at year's end due to perceived unneccessity.
The suggestion was met with widespread condemnation from both sides: Palestinian advocates dismissed it as 'desperate', while pro-Israel supporters accused them of being 'unserious'. This incident underscores growing tensions between the two countries and highlights how domestic issues are increasingly influencing foreign policy decisions.
