Democratic US Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed has apologized for a previous statement perceived as justifying an attack on Temple Israel synagogue. The apology was issued during a meeting with Michigan’s Jewish Democratic caucus. El-Sayed admitted to making a “mistake” with the prior remark, though specifics of the original statement were not detailed in the report. Notably, he also declined to endorse a two-state solution for the Israeli-Palestinian conflict during the meeting. This refusal to support a two-state solution further complicates his position with pro-Israel voters. The incident highlights ongoing tensions and scrutiny surrounding candidates’ positions on Israel and antisemitism within the Democratic party. The story was first reported by The Times of Israel.
