  "account": "Republican Vice President JD Vance addressed the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) convention in Las Vegas, aiming to reassure Jewish Republicans that the Trump administration still prioritizes Israel's interests. The RJC, which is staunchly pro-Israel, finds itself in a challenging position as criticism of Israel increases, particularly among younger Republicans. Vance stated that what the US must articulate is why its relationship with Israel benefits the United States. He addressed backlash to his recent appearance on the Joe Rogan podcast, where he questioned Israeli tactics, and condemned antisemitism and \"blood libel\". Vance also warned that US-Israel relations are only in the best interest of the US if they remain strong, emphasizing that Donald Trump is the only ally Israel currently has.",
