🇺🇸🇮🇱 American Jews who moved to Israel could be a crucial voting bloc in Netanyahu's fight for another term. ~3,500 Americans made Aliyah in each of the past 2 years, following Oct 7, the Gaza war, and a rise in reported antisemitism and anti-Israel protests in the U.S. There are now an estimated 500,000 American-Israelis according to Marc Zell of Republicans Overseas Israel. Zell claims 80-90% of recent U.S. transplants generally vote Republican and says many are backing Netanyahu, though Democratic representatives of American-Israelis dispute that characterization. Meanwhile, tens of thousands of Israelis living abroad are flying home because most citizens must physically be in Israel to vote Tuesday. In an election where every seat matters, Israel's American-born electorate could carry unusual weight. Source: NY Post / Writer: Samuel
