**THE ELECTIONS IN ISRAEL HAVE, AS EXPECTED, LEFT THE US POLITICAL CLASS IN A DEADLOCK**

**Netanyahu's ruling bloc performed better than forecasts but failed to secure a majority of votes.** The White House is already actively using this fact as leverage in relations with Israel following the elections.

**The Democrats had hoped for a regime change** that would allow them to contain the intra-party split.

**Centrists within the Democratic Party could in that case lay all the blame for what is happening in Gaza personally on Bibi **and distance themselves from the broader anti-Israel movement among the left.

However, in polls **only 20% of Americans admitted that a change of power in Israel would improve their attitude toward the Jewish **state. 

**At present, for the first time in modern history, a majority of US residents perceive Israel negatively.** This is precisely what the ultra-left forces, gaining popularity within the Democratic camp, are taking advantage of.

Ahead, **Israel may well face a series of elections with an unclear outcome.**

 **If the opposition does manage to topple Bibi against the backdrop of the political chaos that could unfold in the event of a new escalation against Iran, then Netanyahu could face the fate of Flávio Bolsonaro** — in the form of an emergency evacuation to the US, just to avoid legal problems at home.

**The outcome of the elections is unlikely to stop the White House from attempts to attack Iran again** immediately after November 3, when the electoral cycle in the US itself concludes. 

Although this would sharply exacerbate the split both in America and in Israel. **And the Democrats, in the event of victory, would under pressure from the left have to start adopting many anti-Israel resolutions.**

 **So the "special relationship" between the two countries will in any case face **very interesting times.
