TRUMP ADVISORS SEE OPPORTUNITY EVEN IF BIBI NETANYAHU LOSES

What happened: Trump advisers reportedly see a Netanyahu loss in Tuesday's Israeli election as possibly easing progress on Trump's Middle East agenda, per Axios, even after Trump endorsed the Likud leader last Sunday. Key numbers: Israelis vote Oct. 27; Netanyahu has served roughly 19 years across three stints; midterms are Nov. 3. Why it matters: Advisers have grown dissatisfied with Netanyahu over Syria operations and his reluctance to advance Trump's peace plan, and Trump faces a choice on joining another Iran operation after the vote.
