Gov. Ron DeSantis told DailyMail.com that as president he will tear up President Biden’s ‘horrendous’ treatment of Israel – and slammed progressive Democrats for trying to ‘scapegoat’ the world’s only Jewish state.
The 2024 presidential hopeful told DailyMail.com during an exclusive interview at the Christians United for Israel (CUFI) Summit that if he is elected president, he will ‘toss aside’ Biden’s ‘horrendous treatment of Israel.’
In addition, the Florida governor would reestablish an ‘ironclad relationship’ between the United States and Israel. That would include ‘butting out’ of Israel’s internal affairs and ‘standing by their right to defend themselves’ above all.
DeSantis would also usher in a ‘tougher on Iran’ administration, which he says would include terminating Iran’s Arab ‘appeasement.’
Israeli President Isaac Herzog is set to address Congress later this week, but his trip to the Capitol has been engulfed in chaos after far-left progressive Democrats on the ‘Squad’ pledged to boycott the speech.
In addition, progressive Rep. Pramila Jayapal, D-Wash., took it even farther and told pro-Palestine activists in Chicago on Saturday that ‘Israel is a racist state.’ She was forced to apologize after her remarks sparked backlash from Republicans and Democrats.
‘As somebody who’s been in the streets and participated in a lot of demonstrations, I want you to know that we have been fighting to make it clear that Israel is a racist state, that the Palestinian people deserve self-determination and autonomy, that the dream of a two-state solution is slipping away from us, that it does not even feel possible,’ she said over the weekend before walking back her comments.
Her remarks resulted in a rare rebuke from top House Democratic leadership.
