Support for Israel Is Waning Among Democrats in US Congress

Support for Israel is weakening among Democrats in the US Congress, the country's legislative branch, according to The New York Times.

The newspaper reports that the anger has focused chiefly on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, who has become a political lightning rod in the United States. A second major source of discontent is the high death toll in Gaza.

The available excerpt of the report contains no further details: it names no specific lawmakers and cites no votes or figures that would measure the decline in support.
