A Shift in the American Political Landscape: Israelis Worry About the Future of the U.S.-Israel Relationship In a significant upset, New York voters have elected a new slate of officials, including several Democrats who have expressed criticism of Israel's government and its policies. As a result, Israelis are bracing themselves for a potential further deterioration in the long-standing relationship between the United States and Israel.
