Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu sees an opportunity to strengthen his control over his coalition as Donald Trump wins the US election. With a cabinet that won't oppose him publicly and a White House that won't make a fuss about humanitarian matters in the war against Iran, Netanyahu has what he wants. However, challenges remain and Trump's second presidency could present new pitfalls for Israel's leader. Meanwhile, Joe Biden still has two months left in office and is freed from constraints. If Iran carries out a third ballistic missile attack on Israel, Biden could react differently than in the past. Israel has an opportunity to shape its relationship with the new US administration as it takes office.
