Democratic Socialists of America target US Israel ties after midterms

The New York Post reported that leaders of the Democratic Socialists of America held a national post midterm call titled The socialist surge: DSA, the midterms and beyond on Thursday night. Six winning candidates, including three newly elected Squad members of Congress, participated in the event. The group outlined goals to break the relationship between the United States and Israel and disrupt Immigration and Customs Enforcement. [1]

The organization focused on these foreign policy and immigration objectives during its first national meeting after Election Day rather than addressing cost of living topics. The United States has provided extensive military, diplomatic, and financial support to Israel during the ongoing Gaza war, including guided missiles, artillery shells, and advanced defense systems.

As FTMQ News reported earlier, voter concerns over the economy and cost of living were central issues during the midterm elections, contributing to Republican losses across the United States. New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, who assumed office on January 1, 2026, is a prominent member of the Democratic Socialists of America. [2][4][5]
