John E. Sununu, the former New Hampshire Republican senator seeking to reclaim his seat from retiring Sen. Jeanne Shaheen (D-NH), has a mixed voting record on supporting Israel that could reignite Jewish criticism and present an obstacle in a contested GOP primary.

Sununu, an Arab-American with Palestinian and Lebanese heritage and elder brother of former New Hampshire Republican Gov. Chris Sununu, opposed several pro-Israel resolutions in the late 1990s and early 2000s during his three terms as a congressman.
