Did Israel play a role in the Republican Party’s midterm defeat — and what does the outcome mean for President Trump’s foreign policy?
In this edition of TV7 Editor’s Note, Jonathan Hessen is joined by Marshall Billingslea, former U.S. Assistant Secretary of the Treasury and senior fellow at the Hudson Institute, to examine the political fallout from the U.S. midterm elections and the implications for Israel, Iran, and American leadership.
The discussion explores the growing divisions within American politics, the future of Washington’s confrontation with Tehran, and whether President Trump will intensify military and economic pressure on the Iranian regime or return to negotiations.
The conversation also turns to Israel’s political future: Could a government led by former IDF Chief of Staff Gadi Eisenkot reshape relations with Washington, or would the strategic alliance remain unchanged?
