Former US secretary of state Antony Blinken said Sunday that he warned Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu during the Gaza war that Israel risked losing support among young Republicans and young evangelicals, alongside its mounting difficulties within the Democratic Party.

“You are not only losing the Democratic Party, and that may be fine from your perspective. You’re going to be losing young Republicans, young evangelicals,” Blinken said he told Netanyahu.

Blinken said the image of Israel had changed profoundly between generations. He recalled growing up when Israel was broadly seen as David facing a surrounding Goliath; for the generation now coming to the fore, he said, that perception had reversed.
