AIPAC Ends Direct Candidate Endorsements and Donations
Summarized from The Times of Israel by baba
The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) will cease endorsing U.S. congressional candidates and stop direct PAC donations, shifting focus to encouraging individual contributions. The lobby will continue operating its UDP super PAC, which can spend unlimited funds. This change comes amid increasing partisan polarization over Israel in the U.S. and a perceived decline in AIPAC's image. The organization aims for a more strategic political operation to support the U.S.-Israel alliance.
