US Senate Candidate Receives Funds Amidst Pro-Israel Lobby Controversy
US Senator Bernie Sanders has transferred $1 million to support El-Sayed, a Democratic nominee for Senate in Michigan, in a move seen as a counter to the pro-Israel lobby group AIPAC. This transfer occurred days after reports indicated AIPAC planned to contribute up to $9 million to defeat El-Sayed. In related developments, AIPAC has announced it will no longer endorse or directly contribute to candidates, a decision that comes amidst a backlash against Israel in the US, where political candidates' support for Israel has increasingly become a liability.
