Israel worries over Abdoul El-Sayed victory
American doctor of Egyptian descent Abdulaziz Said won the Democratic primary election in Michigan, marking a victory for the progressive wing within the party over the Israel-backed candidate, Hailey Stevens. His win is seen as a blow to the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), which spent over $30 million attempting to keep him out of the race. Said is expected to face Republican candidate Mike Rogers in the general election scheduled for November. His victory is viewed as a sign of growing progressive influence and a decline in moderate voices within the party regarding Israeli policies and military aid. Abdulaziz Said is known for his anti-aid stance toward Israel and aspires to be the first Muslim representing Michigan in the Senate, potentially influencing the council's future positions on Israel.
