Democratic leader Hakeem Jeffries is set to become US House speaker, and The Times of Israel reports that a new group of anti-Israel candidates elected to Congress may condition support for him on cutting aid to Israel. A Jerusalem Post opinion piece praises Jeffries for caring deeply about the Jewish community and about fighting antisemitism. The analysis suggests Jeffries may need to tread carefully as he balances pro-Israel commitments against pressure from his own party's newer members.
