Shifting Republican and conservative support for Israel
Support for Israel among American conservatives and Republicans is fragmenting, with younger conservatives and non-MAGA Republicans expressing less backing for Israel's government and military actions. Simultaneously, some Republican leaders are warming to Israeli Prime Minister Netanyahu's proposal to end US military aid to Israel, a policy shift that would have been considered taboo in recent decades.
