AIPAC Alters Funding Rules for Elections
The strategy of AIPAC, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee, has changed; it has ceased to raise funds directly to support Congressional candidates and has shifted its focus to organized and individual donations instead of direct funding. This shift comes at a time when divisions within the Democratic Party over Israeli policy are increasing, and Democratic support for its government is waning—especially after tensions in the Middle East have escalated, with warnings that the upcoming phase will see reduced official backing and expanded individual contributions. During the current election cycle, the organization has spent over $83 million, but it is facing a decline in its image within Democratic circles, amid growing opposition to the organization's support from some candidates and lawmakers.
