Hezbollah continues to grow stronger and become a greater threat to Israel. Israel's increased aggression against Hezbollah damages Israel's international reputation and the US's along with it. While many at home are angered by the decision to keep more troops stationed abroad, your ability to avoid war with Iran and avoid any direct conflict, combined with the support from Israel and Israeli lobbies at home, such as AIPAC, has kept support for your administration high enough to make re-election very feasible. However, the danger from Hezbollah and a still-hostile Iran remain.
