A Pro-Israel Group’s Move Backfires as Gaza Tensions Flare in Midterms (www.nytimes.com)

A surprising twist in a New Jersey primary race showed how questions about Israel continue to roil American politics in unpredictable ways.

Feb. 6, 2026

The group’s allied super PAC spent at least $2.3 million against former Representative Tom Malinowski, who has said that he “would not deny anything Israel needs to defend itself” but left open the possibility of placing limits on aid.

It ran negative ads against him, sending a message that it was willing to punish Democrats seen as insufficiently supportive of Israel. And with the race still uncalled on Friday, Mr. Malinowski was indeed trailing narrowly. But the candidate leading him was not one of the other moderates in the race, but an outspoken critic of Israel: Analilia Mejia, a left-leaning political organizer who has said she believed the country committed genocide in Gaza.
