Vance courts skeptical Jewish Republicans at closed Las Vegas gathering
–
Neutral summary
US Vice President JD Vance addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition leadership summit in Las Vegas on Monday in a closed-door appearance, seeking to repair strained ties with Jewish Republicans wary of his Israel stance. During a 30-minute Q&A with former Senator Norm Coleman, Vance called Israel “extremely important to America’s national security”, condemned rising antisemitism and partly attributed it to immigration from the Third World. The speech drew applause from group leaders, though some audience members were disappointed by his answer regarding pundit Tucker Carlson, and former GOP presidential candidate Nikki Haley accused Vance of trying to hedge between Israel and Carlson’s wing of the party.
