🇺🇸 🇮🇱 Multiple 2020 Democratic candidates to skip AIPAC conference | Al Jazeera English

The annual American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) conference is set to begin in Washington on Sunday. A number of US political leaders are scheduled to speak at the event of AIPAC, a powerful lobby group. However, many Democratic presidential contenders have announced they will not attend the conference. It comes at a time of unprecedented pro-Israel measures by the Trump administration, including the recent announcement that the US should recognise the occupied Golan Heights as part of Israel.

Al Jazeera's Mike Hanna reports from Washington.
