Most likely they’ll just do the thing they’ve been setting up for a while: they’ll vote for Israel whenever it matters but loudly in public will say vague things that could possibly mean that they don’t support them, and then insist that everybody ignore their actions and only look at their empty words.
Similar to how some EU states operate. It does open more room for bds when the state is less hostile to antizionist sentiment.
