The US Israel relations are under fire because the Biden administration wants Israel to stop the operation in Gaza. According to Globes, Biden was asked if he would ever leave Israel alone? His answer, instead of a straight “No!” was “Is this a serious question?”
In addition, Globes reports that 5 congressmen from the House of Democrats are calling the president to stop sending weapons to Israel immediately.
Another article in Globes reports the Israeli High-Tech industry is extremely worried about a possible embargo that could pose a serious risk to the industry in particular and to the entire country in general.
The USD-ILS exchange rate as of today – April 7, 2024 – is currently 3.763 Shekels to 1 US Dollar.
US Israel Relations Under Fire: US Elections 2024
Many Israelis are hoping that in November 2024, Biden will be replaced with Trump. The main reason is that Trump is friendlier president for Israel than Biden. Likewise in general throughout history, the Republicans were usually the ones Israel favored over the Democrats. However, the media in Israel is controlled by many left-wing organizations or parties. As a result, you might find articles like this in Israel which are calling Israelis and especially American-Israelis with the right to vote, to reconsider who they vote.
What’s next?
Some blame Israel’s prime minister, Netanyahu, for not stepping down “already”. For example, before the October 7 (2023) tragedy, many Israelis were protesting against the prime minister. Some even referred to him as a “crime minister”. On the other side of the political wing, there are many Israelis who want to have a leader who supports Judaism, Religion and reacts with a proper strike against the enemies of Israel. Who’s going to replace Netanyahu? Will Biden be replaced? It’s extremely hard to tell right now. However, it is quite likely November 2024 is going to be an extremely interesting a point in our modern history.
