Isolationist Pressure Moves Into Conservative Foreign Policy

A visible isolationist current is gaining institutional ground: a senior U.S. envoy says countering Iran-backed threats is not America’s job, Heritage has hired a critic of U.S. engagement in the Middle East, and pro-Israel strategists are debating whether Israel can safely move beyond American aid.

Also tracking: Abdul El-Sayed’s latest statements have sharpened the Michigan Senate race’s divide over Israel; a federal complaint in Maryland and a British government review document failures to protect Jewish students; and competing reports about an alleged Iran strike plan are colliding with election politics.

In the wire: Minnesota Democrats are pressing Ilhan Omar and Omar Fateh to cancel an event with Hasan Piker, Republican spending has been pulled from Jared Moskowitz’s district, and Austrian data show physical antisemitic attacks more than doubled.
