California's governor called Israel an "apartheid state," sparking national debate over U.S. foreign policy and Democratic Party divisions.
California Governor Gavin Newsom has sparked national debate by calling Israel an "apartheid state" during a March 2026 book event, criticizing Prime Minister Netanyahu’s policies, and questioning continued U.S. military aid.
His remarks, part of a broader shift in Democratic sentiment, reflect growing party divisions over Israel and foreign policy, especially amid escalating tensions with Iran and rising public sympathy for Palestinians.
Newsom emphasized concerns over West Bank annexation and the strategic consequences of U.S. involvement, while reaffirming his opposition to funding from pro-Israel lobbying groups.
The comments drew swift criticism from allies and opponents alike.
