💨 Abstract

Democratic leaders are distancing themselves from Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to avoid anti-Israel sentiment becoming a litmus test in elections. A failed resolution to block new arms sales to Israel and emerging support for Palestinian statehood indicate rising discontent. Prominent figures like Senator Brian Schatz and Governor Tim Walz highlight both the humanitarian crisis in Gaza and concerns about Netanyahu's policies. Younger Democrats, in particular, show increasing skepticism towards strong U.S. support for Israel.
