California Governor Gavin Newsom, a potential 2028 presidential candidate, has stated that Democrats are overwhelmingly opposed to the current Israeli regime. In an interview with PBS News Hour, Newsom emphasized that there is no controversy within the Democratic Party regarding condemnation of the actions of Israeli Prime Minister Bibi Netanyahu.
He reinforced that the vast majority of Democrats agree that the situation in Gaza is a moral catastrophe. Newsom also highlighted that there is a consensus among Democrats that a secure democratic Palestinian state should be established next to a democratic and secure Israel. Despite acknowledging that some language from fellow Democrats has been weaponized, Newsom maintained that the party is unified on this issue.
He further stated that fewer Democrats are accepting donations from the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) lobby group, which is seen as a more mainstream position within the Democratic Party.
