- On August 7, Greene labeled Israel’s actions in Gaza as genocide, prompting AIPAC to condemn her remarks as a distortion and betrayal of American values.
- A U.N.-backed panel has warned of a “worst-case famine scenario” in Gaza, citing at least 197 starvation deaths under the Israeli blockade.
- Greene has accused AIPAC of violating U.S. law by funneling donations and funding congressional trips and demanded the lobby group register as a foreign agent.
- AIPAC is mobilizing lawmakers and donors to defend the U.S.-Israel alliance and push back against what it calls “lies” from both the radical left and right.
- The dispute underscores widening rifts within the Republican Party between staunch pro-Israel advocates and an “America First” faction increasingly critical of unconditional support.
