民主党在本周美国中期选举中取得压倒性胜利，加剧了以色列对两国未来关系的担忧。这一结果削弱了共和党在国会的地位，以色列政府内部一些人视此为失去了在华盛顿的长期盟友。
The Democratic Party's sweeping victory in this week's US midterm elections has raised concern in Israel over the future of the two countries' relationship. The result weakens the Republican Party's standing in Congress, a shift some in the Israeli government view as the loss of longstanding allies in Washington.
分析人士指出，共和党表现不佳的一个原因是国内对华盛顿对以色列坚定、无条件支持的批评日益增多。这在以色列政府内部和公众中引发了关于美国地区政策是否即将改变的辩论。
Analysts suggest one reason Republicans performed poorly was growing domestic criticism of Washington's staunch, unconditional support for Israel. That has fuelled debate within both Israeli government circles and the wider public over whether US regional policy is now headed for change.
以色列官员表示，他们正密切关注国会新的权力格局将如何影响未来的军事援助计划和外交支持。华盛顿权力平衡的变化被视为将塑造未来几个月双边关系走向的重要因素。
Israeli officials say they are closely watching how the new makeup of Congress will affect military aid packages and diplomatic backing going forward. The shifting balance of power in Washington is seen as a significant factor that will shape the trajectory of the bilateral relationship in the coming months.
