Haley Stevens urges Democrats to hold steady on Israel

Rep. Haley Stevens, who lost her Senate primary partly over her AIPAC-backed support for Israel, is using her final months in Congress to restate that support, including after being confronted by an activist who accused her of backing genocide and told her, on video, that they'd see her at the gallows.

Stevens rejects the genocide framing and says she still backs a two-state solution; her Senate primary rival Abdul El-Sayed, who wants conditions on military aid, condemned the harassment as unrepresentative of his movement. Stevens described a post-campaign trip to Israel, meetings with a former hostage and Israeli military leaders, and a limited visit near Gaza, framing it as evidence that ordinary people on both sides want the war to end.

The larger dispute, over aid conditions and how to characterize the war, remains a live fault line in Michigan's Democratic primaries.
