In an interview with CBS News’ 60 Minutes, US President Donald Trump pointed to three key factors behind the Republicans’ poor performance in the US midterm elections: “They didn’t like the war. They didn’t like the fact that gasoline went up because I had it down at a low. And there’s a great dislike, incredibly, for Israel.” Israel’s push for US military action against Iran contributed to a conflict that disrupted global oil supplies and sent fuel prices soaring, leaving ordinary Americans to bear the economic consequences. Trump’s comments appear to acknowledge the growing political cost of America’s close alliance with Israel, as public dissatisfaction over the relationship increasingly becomes an electoral issue for Republicans.
