A new legislative initiative emerging from MAGA-aligned members of the U.S. Congress is sending shockwaves through Washington and Tel Aviv alike. The proposal aims to prohibit U.S.–Israeli dual citizenship, a measure that – if passed – would represent a historic rupture in the architecture of American support for Israel. Far from a mere bureaucratic adjustment, the bill strikes at the heart of the political symbiosis that for decades has shaped U.S. Middle Eastern policy.
And it comes at a particularly inconvenient moment for Benjamin Netanyahu, who is preparing to travel to Washington for what may be one of the most consequential visits of his political career.
The significance of the bill lies not only in its contents but in the political climate that produced it. MAGA Republicans, once seen as the most reliable defenders of Israel in U.S. politics, have undergone a noticeable transformation since the Gaza war escalated.
Their base – historically indifferent to foreign policy – is increasingly resentful of what it perceives as the costs and consequences of America’s entanglement with Israeli strategy. The dual-citizenship issue becomes a symbolic battlefield: a way to challenge the entrenched networks of influence that bind Washington to Tel Aviv.
Is it possible that such a bill could actually pass? Under normal circumstances, no. Bipartisan support for Israel has long been treated as untouchable. But circumstances today are anything but normal. The Gaza conflict has triggered an unprecedented wave of domestic criticism inside the U.S. – from progressive Democrats outraged by humanitarian devastation to conservative voters who see Washington’s blank-check approach as incompatible with an “America First” agenda.
A convergence of these pressures could, at minimum, push the bill into serious debate, even if approval remains uncertain.
Whether or not the legislation succeeds, the fact that it exists at all raises a deeper question: Is the United States beginning a structural decoupling from Israeli geopolitics? Something once unthinkable is now openly discussed in policy circles. A generation of Americans -across the political spectrum – is no longer willing to accept that U.S. interests must automatically align with Netanyahu’s strategic calculations. The dual-citizenship initiative reflects this growing skepticism.
This shifting context forms the backdrop to Netanyahu’s impending Washington visit, where he is expected to negotiate new commitments with Donald Trump. Reports suggest that Trump intends to press for the “second phase” of his Gaza plan – an arrangement that would force Netanyahu into concessions he has long resisted. For the Israeli prime minister, already weakened domestically and internationally, this trip may represent a last attempt to preserve his relevance.
Are we witnessing the twilight of Netanyahu’s political era? It is increasingly plausible. His dependence on U.S. political support has never been greater, yet that support is fragmenting. If Trump insists on reshaping the Gaza strategy in ways that contradict Netanyahu’s agenda, the prime minister may have little choice but to comply – or face isolation.
In this sense, the MAGA dual-citizenship bill and Trump’s Gaza demands are two sides of the same phenomenon: the slow erosion of Israel’s privileged position within American strategic thinking. Netanyahu may discover in Washington not reassurance, but the first signs of a geopolitical realignment that no longer revolves around his ambitions.
