A member of a White House religious advisory committee was removed after questioning Zionism, as reported by Middle East Eye. Separately, Donald Trump’s nominee for a senior diplomatic role is facing intensified scrutiny and at least one Republican senator’s stated opposition over past remarks concerning Israel and Jews, according to The Straits Times and The Guardian. The episode matters because it links internal White House advisory dynamics with confirmation politics around a high-level diplomatic appointment, with potential implications for US messaging on Israel and for Senate support within the Republican Party.
