WASHINGTON: The American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), one of the most influential pro-Israel lobbying organizations in the United States, has stopped providing financial support to Democratic members of Congress who voted in favor of restricting U.S. military aid to Israel.
According to reports, AIPAC has removed the option to donate to those lawmakers through its online fundraising platform, marking a shift in its support for a number of Democratic legislators.
The move reportedly affects 15 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives who had previously received AIPAC’s endorsement and backing for the November elections.
U.S. media outlets reported that more than a dozen lawmakers are expected to be impacted by the decision.
AIPAC has long been regarded as one of the most influential pro-Israel lobbying organizations in the United States, playing a significant role in campaign fundraising and advocating for policies supportive of Israel.
The reported funding decision follows votes by the affected lawmakers in favor of measures aimed at limiting or halting U.S. military assistance to Israel. AIPAC’s action has been reported by U.S. media, while the organization has updated its fundraising platform accordingly.
