Fiery House Primary Highlights Divide Over Israel

“Rep. Jamaal Bowman, an outspoken Israel critic, has made calls to end the war in Gaza a central theme of his House primary near New York City. His opponent, Westchester County Executive George Latimer, is backed by pro-Israel groups and has largely sided with the country through the conflict,” Politico reports.

“But the ongoing humanitarian disaster in Gaza, and events like the killing of World Central Kitchen relief workers, are changing the dynamics of the race — testing the limits of Democratic support from even a stalwart backer of the Israeli government.”
