The ongoing conflict between Israel and Hamas has become a focal point in a congressional primary election in New York, highlighting the internal divisions within the Democratic Party since the conflict erupted last year.
U.S. Rep. Jamaal Bowman, known for his critical stance on Israel, is facing a tough challenge from centrist George Latimer in a predominantly suburban district north of New York City. Bowman has been vocal in questioning the Biden administration's support for Israel's response to the Hamas attack on civilians in southern Israel on Oct. 7.
