Reports of a US aid waiver by Netanyahu and remarks by Vice President JD Vance tying Republican midterm losses to the Iran war and US-Israel relations prompted debate over the future of American support, as reported on 2026-11-06. The Movement for Quality Government (MQG) demanded a probe into Netanyahu's reported waiver of US aid, asking who took part in the decision, whether the Defense and Finance Ministries were consulted, and what assessments informed it. The Jerusalem Post published an editorial and a commentary saying Vance must clarify what he wants to change and that Jerusalem should prepare for a changing alliance. The Times of Israel reported that US Ambassador Mike Huckabee said he was not sure whether US aid would end immediately or at the end of 2028, defended military assistance, and said Vance was wrong that Republicans want to change the relationship.
