AIPAC adjusts support rules over Israel backers
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) announced a shift in its strategy, indicating it will cease providing official support and direct donations to congressional candidates. This move aims to reduce criticism and lower the costs associated with direct involvement. Instead, the organization will focus on collecting individual donations from its members, which have already surpassed $90 million, while continuing its activities to support pro-Israel candidates through indirect means such as independent expenditures. This change comes after a decline in the organization’s popularity due to criticism from the progressive wing of the Democratic Party and some right-wing groups. The goal is to build a more strategic and flexible political process and to ease pressure stemming from internal tensions and electoral setbacks.
