The US state of Michigan witnessed the first debate between US Senate candidates, Democrat Abdul Rahman El-Sayed (Abdul) and Republican Mike Rogers, with the two sides exchanging accusations and interruptions. The dispute centred on US-Israeli relations, Washington's military aid to Tel Aviv and the war with Iran, in addition to a question raised by El-Sayed about the possibility of Israel annexing south Lebanon.
Source coverage varied between focusing on the course of the debate and the mutual accusations between the candidates, focusing on the Democratic candidate's position on arming Israel and the confrontation with Iran, and highlighting the question of annexing south Lebanon and what the Walla website said about the absence of documents.
