“Board of Peace” Billionaire Backs AIPAC Fund Targeting Pro-Palestine Candidates
Marc Rowan, a Trump appointee overseeing Gaza’s redevelopment, has given $1.5 million to AIPAC’s super PAC this cycle. The post “Board of Peace” Billionaire Backs AIPAC Fund Targeting Pro-Palestine Candidates appeared first on The Intercept .
Marc Rowan, a billionaire and CEO of Apollo Global Management, has been backing a pro-Israel political project with a donation of $1.5 million to the United Democracy Project (UDP), a super PAC for the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC). He has made multiple donations totaling $1.5 million to UDP since the start of the year, while simultaneously serving on President Donald Trump's "Board of Peace," a UN-approved body tasked with implementing Trump's stalled Gaza plan.
Rowan's donations align with AIPAC's super PAC efforts to target pro-Palestine candidates, such as Rep. Thomas Massie, Rep. Abdul El-Sayed, and Rep. Cori Bush. His support for Trump's board and UDP is connected to his goal of silencing Palestinians and promoting U.S. military aid to Israel, despite the fact that Palestinians and American voters did not choose him.
