Van Jones Blasts Abdul El-Sayed's 100% Israel Arms Embargo as 'Insane'

Van Jones said Abdul El-Sayed's Israel stance goes beyond conditioning or ending U.S. aid, describing his call for a total arms embargo — including defensive weapons — as "insane."
Jones argued that position would block Israel from buying interceptors used to stop rockets from Iran, Hezbollah or Hamas, framing it as denying civilians the means to defend themselves.
Barack Obama became Jones's benchmark: he said Obama helped create Iron Dome support and challenged whether El-Sayed believed he had better foreign-policy judgment than the former president.
The remarks spotlight a wider Democratic split over Israel, with Jones saying the party is struggling to confront views he called dangerous as El-Sayed remains a prominent Michigan progressive candidate.
