In a closely watched election, New York residents are set to cast their votes in the state's primary elections on Tuesday, with several key contests drawing national attention. One of the most high-profile races features Zohran Mamdani, a progressive Democrat and New York State Assemblyman, who is seeking to unseat fellow Democrat Representative Gregory Meeks in the 5th Congressional District. Meanwhile, the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), a powerful pro-Israel lobbying group, is also in the spotlight as it seeks to influence the election outcomes in several key congressional districts. With tensions between the US and Israel reaching a boiling point, the involvement of AIPAC in these elections is expected to have significant implications for the future of US-Israel relations. As voters head to the polls, the outcome of these contests will be closely watched by both domestic and international observers.
