US scrutiny of Israel aid widens
Asharq News reported on November 6 that scrutiny of US support for Israel widened after the midterm elections, including calls among Democrats to limit military aid. The report links the debate to Gaza, Israel’s treatment of Palestinians and the Iran conflict, presenting these as strands in US political discussion rather than a settled motive shared by voters. It describes calls to limit aid, not an enacted policy change. Separately, the Saudi Press Agency says the Kingdom condemns continued Israeli aggression in Gaza and supports the Palestinian people’s right to self-determination and an independent, sovereign state on the 1967 borders, with East Jerusalem as its capital. Saudi Arabia identifies the two-state solution as a path to a just, lasting and comprehensive peace. The Ministry of Foreign Affairs also emphasizes de-escalation, dialogue and diplomatic solutions in the current regional crisis.
