Michigan Democratic Senate nominee Abdul el Sayed and Rep. Haley Stevens (D-MI), his former primary opponent, are again sparring over Israel just days before voters decide one of the most closely watched contests of the 2026 midterm elections.

The dispute centers on an advertisement attacking U.S. aid to Israel run by Rebellion PAC, a left-wing group founded by Cenk Uygur — the uncle of el Sayed booster Hasan Piker. The ad blames the high cost of groceries on Israel, which Jewish leaders have condemned as antisemitic.
