Vice President JD Vance is set to address the Republican Jewish Coalition on Monday, a gathering that aims to ease concerns among conservative Jewish activists regarding his stance on Israel and his association with controversial figures like Tucker Carlson. This private event comes at a highly sensitive time, as concerns about antisemitism have risen across the political spectrum ahead of the midterm elections.
Jewish Americans and the U.S. relationship with Israel are under scrutiny, with Republicans eager to portray Democrats as hostile toward Jews and Israel while navigating their own internal divisions. Vance has made controversial comments, including suggesting that some Israeli officials aim to manipulate U.S. public opinion to prolong the Iran war, and distancing himself from Carlson, who hosted antisemite Nick Fuentes.
He has expressed support for Israel but has been more critical than Trump, leading to questions about his true sentiments.
