In a swift reversal, California Governor Gavin Newsom has announced his regret over recent remarks in which he compared Israel to an 'apartheid state'. The governor, who has long been a vocal supporter of the Jewish state, faced significant backlash for his comments, which many saw as a sharp departure from his previously unwavering stance.
Newsom's remarks, made during a meeting with progressive activists, were interpreted by some as a shift in his position on the Israeli-Palestinian conflict. However, the governor has now sought to clarify his stance, stating that his words were 'poorly chosen' and do not reflect his true views on the complex geopolitical situation in the Middle East.
