Reported links between Mike Rogers' campaign contractors and work for Israel are the focus of a Michigan Senate election segment from Qatar-based Al Araby Television's news channel. Presenter Amani Juha places those links alongside Democratic Representative Haley Stevens' endorsement of Rogers, the Republican facing Democratic nominee Abdul El-Sayed.
Stevens lost the Democratic Senate nomination to El-Sayed before backing his opponent. The report opens with Senate Democratic leader Chuck Schumer's description of her decision as a betrayal. That is the political judgment driving the segment, rather than an established finding about her motives.
Citing Drop Site News, the programme says a Rogers campaign spokesperson and another aide also worked on behalf of Israel. It then describes campaign contracts worth millions of dollars with Convergence Media and discusses connections involving Brad Parscale, Donald Trump's former campaign manager. An on-screen caption refers to an Israeli contract worth $46.5 million; the segment presents this as part of its account of the overlapping political and communications work.
The report also returns to Stevens' own public statements. In an archival speech, she says, "I will continue to fight for the people of Israel." The clip establishes her stated support for Israel, but does not itself establish why she endorsed Rogers.
Juha then reports that Stevens' chief of staff and other team members resigned in support of El-Sayed, while his campaign recorded what the programme describes as record fundraising. An on-screen polling reference portrays El-Sayed's lead as narrow.
El-Sayed's recorded response comes late in the segment. Through Arabic translation, he says he is not thinking about Stevens and redirects attention to his election programme. The closing section surveys posts on X about the endorsement and its possible electoral consequences, moving from campaign reporting into public reaction.
