Republican presidential candidates spoke at the Republican Jewish Coalition conference, highlighting their strong support for Israel. Former Vice President Mike Pence also announced the suspension of his campaign.

During the annual summit of the Republican Jewish Coalition, several Republican presidential candidates delivered speeches emphasizing their unwavering support for Israel. The candidates aimed to sway support away from former President Donald Trump, the current front-runner, who recently received criticism for his comments regarding Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and the Lebanese militant group Hezbollah. Nikki Haley, former U.N. Ambassador, used her remarks to specifically criticize Trump, who has garnered significant support from Orthodox Jews based on a poll conducted by the Jewish Electoral Institute earlier this year. Haley's comments included disapproval of Trump's criticism of Netanyahu during an ongoing tragedy and war, as well as his description of Hezbollah as "very smart."
