Summary
Abdul El-Sayed’s Senate campaign said Monday that a Rebellion PAC ad endorsing him and attacking his Republican opponent over Israel is “not affiliated in any way” with the candidate.
The ad, set in a grocery store, links high household costs to U.S. support for Israel, with one character saying $7 for eggs should be “set aside for killing Palestinians.”
It also cites more than $21 billion in U.S. military aid to Israel between fall 2023 and fall 2025, according to Brown University’s Costs of War Project.
El-Sayed’s campaign said he is focused on opposing Trump’s agenda and stressed that only he and his campaign speak for him, even as he has been an outspoken critic of Israel’s war in Gaza.
