WASHINGTON:

Democrats' takeover of Congress and growing Republican unease over Israel could trigger the biggest reassessment of US support for its closest Middle East ally in decades, after an election shaped in part by anger over the Iran war.

Democrats won both the Senate and House in Tuesday's midterms. Many winning candidates were progressives who campaigned against military aid to Israel and the US-Israeli war on Iran. Reuters
