Pro-Israel America has designated 30 congressional endorsements for “key races” the organization will focus on in the 2022 election cycle.
According to the bipartisan PAC, these races include competitive primaries and general elections, as well as races between pro-Israel champions and anti-Israel opponents. They include four Senate races and 26 Houses races with candidates endorsed on both sides of the aisle, including 17 Democrats and 13 Republicans.
The focus comes as concern regarding bipartisan support for Israel grows. Last May, during Israel’s 11-day conflict with Hamas in Gaza, several progressive lawmakers in the Democratic Party accused Israel of becoming an “apartheid state” and called for conditioning U.S. aid to Israel.
More recently, emergency funding for Israel’s Iron Dome was stripped from a budget bill after an objection by progressive lawmakers, though it is on track to be passed.
