"2024 GOP Candidates Seek to Differentiate Themselves on Israel at Republican Jewish Coalition Summit"

GOP 2024 presidential candidates attending the Republican Jewish Coalition's annual conference face the challenge of distinguishing themselves from former President Donald Trump on their support for Israel as the country battles Hamas. While Trump remains popular among Jewish conservatives, his criticism of Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu has raised questions about potential fallout. Candidates hope to establish themselves as strong supporters of Israeli security without alienating Trump's supporters. Attendees also want to hear how each candidate would handle the crisis differently from President Joe Biden and address the persistence of antisemitism. Trump, who plans to attend the conference, aims to highlight his record on Israeli security, while other candidates seek to demonstrate their foreign policy credentials during the crisis. Major Republican donors, including Miriam Adelson, have declined to provide financial support to any candidates at this stage.
