Trump said US will pull $4bn military aid from Israel but even his last-ditch midterm gamble failed?

Despite the high-stakes political messaging, the Republican Party’s midterm performance has raised questions about whether Trump’s last-minute strategy succeeded in winning over voters. What does this mean for US support for Israel and the future of the alliance?
