"Republican Candidates Rally Jewish Donors with Strong Israel Support"

US Republican presidential candidates, including frontrunner Donald Trump, expressed their unwavering support for Israel and criticized Palestinian Hamas militants during speeches to major Jewish donors in Las Vegas. The Republican Jewish Coalition's donor gathering comes as Israel prepares for a ground invasion of Gaza following a surprise attack by Hamas. The candidates sought to reassure donors of their commitment to Israel, with Trump vowing to stand with Israel without hesitation and sanction Iran. Nikki Haley criticized an isolationist trend in the Republican Party and warned against abandoning Ukraine, while Ron DeSantis emphasized support for Israel. Former Vice-President Mike Pence announced the end of his cash-strapped presidential campaign at the event.
