  "account": "In Michigan's recent US Senate race, Democrat Abdul El-Sayed has been declared the winner, according to main pollsters. The closely watched contest saw El-Sayed defeat his Republican opponent, Mike Rogers, who is set to take the seat vacated by retiring Democratic Senator Gary Peters. At the time of the race, many had used phrases like \"inshallah\" or \"God willing\" to express uncertainty regarding the outcome. However, with El-Sayed's victory, they can now celebrate and say \"alhamdulillah\" instead.\n\nDuring his victory speech, El-Sayed expressed joy and praised the outcome, while also addressing the controversy surrounding his stance on Israel. He criticized Israel for its actions during the war against Hamas in Gaza, accusing the Jewish state of genocide, apartheid, and war. Despite Israel's rejection of these claims, El-Sayed reiterated his position in an interview with CBS's 60 Minutes on Monday, arguing that the United States continues to support a two-state solution while simultaneously providing military assistance to parties opposing its establishment.",
