The Iranian news agency IRNA reported that the Democratic Party's control of the US Congress paves the way for Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's trial. While this doesn't mean Washington will stop supporting Israel, it could pose new challenges to Tel Aviv's political landscape. From increasing pressure to limit military aid and curb the Trump administration's war policy against Iran, to further criticism of settlement construction and the Gaza war, the new US Congress has increased the political cost of the Netanyahu government, prompting Eisenkert to become President Herzog's nominee for the Israeli government; this shift will also influence Israel's future power structure.
