Several senior advisers to U.S. President Donald Trump believe an Israeli government without Benjamin Netanyahu could be easier to work with, Axios reported, despite Trump’s endorsement of Netanyahu ahead of Tuesday’s election.
JD Vance has become disillusioned with Netanyahu over the Iran war, while other officials have raised concerns about Israeli policies in Syria, Lebanon and the West Bank.
Three major Israeli polls project that Netanyahu’s bloc will win 50 seats. That result could lead to a deadlock that keeps Netanyahu in power as caretaker prime minister.
