A Palestinian state has a right to exist, Israel only under certain conditions: the Democratic candidate gets entangled in an interview

Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, conditioned his recognition of Israel's right to exist on mutual agreement between the peoples in a CBS interview, while affirming Palestine's right to exist unconditionally. Meanwhile, his primary rival, Haley Stevens, announced support for the Republican candidate.

Democratic Senate candidate in Michigan, Abdul El-Sayed, faced tough questions about his views on Israel in an interview with CBS's "60 Minutes." El-Sayed answered affirmatively when asked about Palestine's right to exist but conditioned his answer on Israel on mutual agreement between the peoples. He expressed support for both a two-state solution under equal conditions and a one-state solution. El-Sayed accused Israel of genocide in Gaza, a claim Israel denies. Meanwhile, Democratic Congresswoman Haley Stevens, who lost to El-Sayed in the primary, announced support for his Republican rival Mike Rogers. El-Sayed maintains a lead in polls, but the polls were conducted before Stevens's announcement. The election takes place on Tuesday.
