In the case of the war between Ukraine and Russiathe difference between Harris and Trump is very marked.

Israel’s position

Another country at war and very divided ideologically is Israel. There, in their own polarization, the most progressive sector prefers a victory for Harris, while the right implores Trump to win.

The Republican candidate is openly in favor of Benjamin Netanyahuand its opponents fear the hostilities that may arise from that alliance.

Instead, the Israeli right fears a Democratic victory, as this would put pressure on the Jewish state to end the war in the Gaza Strip, seek a two state solution with the Palestinians and potentially face a return of the US Embassy to Tel Aviv from Jerusalem.
