Eh, no more odd than the Senate majority leader actively campaigning against the democratically elected leader of an allied nation. Israel's existence is predicated on US support. So having a lobbying group promoting candidates well disposed towards Israel seems to be a natural move.
Is it election interference for a major NATO leader to say Trump is a risk to the alliance?

My point being the US dips its beak into other nation's elections all the time. Other countries do the same with the US. I don't think it's as odd as you may believe.
