A new analysis examines whether the influence of the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), long considered one of the most powerful lobbying groups in Washington, is beginning to wane, citing growing backlash from both progressive Democrats and parts of the Republican base. The piece argues AIPAC's grip on US politics faces unprecedented scrutiny amid shifting public opinion on Israel. A separate commentary pushes back on narratives of change, arguing the Democratic Party establishment remains firmly aligned with Israel despite efforts to accommodate a growing pro-Palestinian wing of its voter base. Together the pieces highlight an ongoing debate over whether US political support for Israel is genuinely shifting or merely facing louder, but still marginal, internal dissent.
