📰 What Happened
In several US states, Senate candidates are openly questioning whether America should keep sending weapons to Israel. The races run from Texas to Michigan. Al Jazeera has looked at whether the midterm elections could give Congress enough votes to block military support. The report is a short video explainer rather than a news story. It does not predict an outcome. Instead, it asks how much the elections could shift US policy towards Israel.
🔍 The Backstory
The United States has been Israel's biggest arms supplier for decades. Long-term agreements commit Washington to billions of dollars in military aid every year, and Congress must approve major weapons sales. That support used to be a mostly bipartisan matter. The war in Gaza has changed that, with some Democratic voters and candidates now calling for conditions on arms transfers.
🎯 Why It Matters
American weapons and money shape the balance of power in the Middle East, so US elections can change what happens on the ground there.
