GOP Divided: Young Republicans Shift Stance on Israel | JQJO

A generational rift within the Republican Party is emerging regarding support for Israel. Younger Republicans, a key demographic in Trump's 2024 victory, show a growing divergence from older members, with a significant portion expressing a more critical view of US support for Israel. Recent polls highlight this division, revealing a substantial age gap in opinions on military action involving Iran and Israel. Younger Republicans increasingly cite domestic issues and negative imagery from the recent Gaza conflict as influencing their changing perspectives.

The Supreme Court on Monday rejected an appeal by Khalid Sheikh Mohammed and two other alleged 9/11 plotters seeking to enforce a plea deal. The men had agreed to life sentences in a 2024 deal signed by a military commission judge. Days later, then-Defense Secretary Lloyd Austin rejected the proposal, claiming authority to override it. Military courts said Austin had no such power, and an August ruling by the U.S. Court of Appeals for the District of Columbia Circuit favored the government. The Supreme Court’s decision removes a barrier to Mohammed’s trial before a military commission in 2028, where the death penalty is possible. Mohammed has been held at Guantanamo Bay, Cuba, since 2006.

Federal officials carried out a major voter‑fraud operation in Commerce, California, on Monday morning, arresting more than two dozen people accused of registering to vote as noncitizens.

The operation follows a recent DOJ warning that processing ballots from suspected noncitizens could expose election officials to criminal investigation. The arrests come amid heightened tensions between the Trump administration and California over election administration and noncitizen voting allegations ahead of the midterm election.
