Michigan rabbis issue petition with nonnegotiable demands to Senate candidate Abdul El-Sayed over Israel positions
A coalition of Michigan rabbis and Jewish leaders circulated a petition with five demands for Democratic Senate nominee Abdul El-Sayed, including support for Jewish sovereignty in Israel, a two-state solution, and full Jewish participation in American political life. El-Sayed, who defeated Rep. Haley Stevens in the August 4 primary, has been critical of Israel and has said he does not believe in ethno-states. The petition does not name El-Sayed directly but is targeted at Michigan candidates ahead of the November 3 general election against Republican Mike Rogers.

The split, in one line
The Examiner and Hill frame the petition as pressure on El-Sayed to shift rhetoric, while Bloomberg pivots to El-Sayed calling Trump Rogers' 'Daddy', and NYT simply publishes the petition text.
