Senate Win Worries Israel

Abdulrahman El-Sayed’s victory in Michigan’s U.S. Senate race has caused concern in Israel, according to an analysis published by *Yedioth Ahronoth*. The newspaper described him as the first Muslim to win a seat in the Senate, after he defeated Republican Mike Rogers. It said the victory reflects the growing political representation of Muslims and greater acceptance of public criticism of Israeli policies, despite efforts by pro-Israel lobbying groups, including AIPAC, to thwart his campaign. The newspaper added that El-Sayed’s focus on the cost of living and health care, along with his opposition to providing aid to Israel, helped him attract voters—and that taking positions against Israeli policies is no longer necessarily an electoral liability.
