00:00For decades, Israel has relied on bulletproof, bipartisan support from Washington.
00:05But the recent US midterm elections sent shockwaves through the Israeli media.
00:10That historic political shield is now fracturing across three major fronts.
00:15First up, the limits of lobbying money.
00:17A major pro-Israel group spent over $30 million trying to defeat Israel-critical Democrat Abdul El-Sayed.
00:24But he secured victory anyway.
00:26Even more surprising, El-Sayed reportedly captured 60% of the Jewish-American vote.
00:32It proved that massive campaign spending can no longer guarantee an election outcome.
00:36Next, a diplomatic backlash.
00:39Israeli media is openly furious with Prime Minister Netanyahu for gambling his country's entire US relationship on Donald Trump and
00:47the Republican Party.
00:48That parties and gamble shattered decades of careful strategy aimed at keeping both major parties on side.
00:54Finally, a shifting American electorate.
00:58US voters, burdened by domestic inflation, actively rejected politicians who tried dragging America into a wider conflict with Iran.
01:07Pushing for foreign regime change has become a massive electoral liability.
01:12These midterms proved that unconditional US backing is no longer a guarantee.
01:16Because today, funding foreign wars is a direct threat to an American politician's own survival.
01:22The 2ndYPA means a strong pro-Israel group squadron is leading the election bread each other.
01:22The 2ndYPA means a United States parliament.
