Report: AIPAC to Halt Official Endorsements of US Candidates
The pro-Israel lobby in the United States is set to cease official endorsements and direct donations to political candidates while continuing work through its super PAC.
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) will stop officially endorsing political candidates for Congress and halt direct campaign donations, Channel 7 and ynet reported. At the same time, reports noted that the pro-Israel lobby will continue its political advocacy through its super PAC.
The move follows intensifying pressure from progressive groups and pro-Palestinian activists, alongside recent losses by endorsed candidates in key races. According to the reports, AIPAC's formal backing had become a focal point for attacks against certain politicians, and the change is aimed at mitigating that public friction.
A detailed official response from AIPAC leadership has not yet been released.
