Politico Poll: MAGA Voters Stay Pro-Israel as Non-MAGA Republicans Begin to Peel Away

Today's lead: new Politico polling shows the Republican Party fracturing on Israel — MAGA voters remain solidly pro-Israel while non-MAGA Republicans are drifting, the first major data on a fracture with direct implications for pro-Israel legislative strategy in 2026. Also tracking the sharpest escalation yet in US-Israel preparations for renewed Iran strikes — Netanyahu and Trump speaking today with a possible decision as early as this week — and Nakba Day in New York, where Mamdani became the first NYC mayor ever to publicly mark the day while anti-Israel protesters chanted 'Resistance is justified' at a Hamas-headband rally in Washington Square Park. In the wire: DOJ seeks death penalty for the Israeli embassy staffer murders, Hamas fails to elect a new political leader after Haddad's killing, Israel finishes second at Eurovision despite five-country boycott, and the New School student senate votes to defund campus Hillel.
