The U.S. midterm elections are raising questions about the future of America's relationship with Israel, including whether bipartisan support for the Jewish state can endure.

Meanwhile, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu faces a political battle of his own, struggling to form a government without a parliamentary majority.

A major shift in U.S.-Israel relations as President Donald Trump says America will stop sending billions of dollars in annual military aid to Israel.

President Trump announced this morning that the U.S. will end $4 billion in annual aid to Israel after the end of this year.
