Democratic Sen. Chris Coons, one of Israel's strongest supporters in Congress, won the Democratic primary in Delaware and is expected to win the general election in November, in a state considered a solid Democratic stronghold. Coons has supported military aid to Israel over the years and opposed proposals aimed at halting arms shipments, a stance that became one of the focal points of criticism against him from his party rivals. His leading opponent, Jeff Applehanns, called for ending U.S. support for the war in Gaza and attacked Coons for his votes in favor of continuing arms transfers to Israel.
