Democrats split as Israel’s war in Gaza dominates US midterm races
(opens the publisher’s site)The death of Republican Senator Lindsey Graham, a key pro-Israel voice, has drawn mourning in Israel while Democratic primaries expose widening splits over the Gaza war.
- Republican Senator Lindsey Graham died at age 71; Israeli media eulogized him as a "steel shield" for Israel in Washington.
- In his last interview with Israel Hayom, Graham said the United States has "no better friend in the world than Israel."
- In a Michigan Senate debate, Democratic candidate Abdul El-Sayed criticized AIPAC's influence, while opponent Haley Stevens denied that pro-Israel groups own her vote.
- An AP poll found nearly 60% of Democrats say the US is too supportive of Israel, up from 45% in January 2024.
