The pro-Israel lobbying group AIPAC announced it will stop officially endorsing and directly donating to US congressional candidates, while keeping its super PAC active and encouraging members to donate personally, according to reports on October 21-22. The decision follows criticism that several politicians endorsed by the group had become targets of significant backlash, which some analysts say damaged AIPAC's public image since it launched its PAC and super PAC in 2021.
