US House Democrats were divided into a near-even split by a vote this week over whether to cut military aid to Israel, which was defeated through almost total opposition from the Republican party. Ahead of November's midterm elections, the vote reflects a sharp erosion in support for Israel among left-leaning voters after years of war in Gaza.
More than 100 US House Democrats voted this week to cut military aid to Israel, exposing a widening party divide that could reshape both November's midterm elections and the future of one of Washington's most durable foreign policy alliances.
