Overview

  • Rep. Marjorie Taylor Greene branded fellow MAGA supporters who advocate full U.S. involvement in the Israel-Iran conflict as “fake” patriots betraying America First principles
  • President Trump told The Atlantic that “America First” means whatever he decides and left open the possibility of military engagement in support of Israel
  • Prominent MAGA figures including Mark Levin rejected Greene’s purity test, arguing that loyalty to Trump defines the movement’s true America First identity
  • Iran launched another wave of missile attacks on Israel, killing at least five people, while Israel claimed it had neutralized Iranian defenses and secured flight paths over Tehran
  • The dispute has exposed deep rifts within the Republican Party between traditional pro-Israel hawks and anti-interventionist MAGA hardliners
