All three remaining Republican candidates have their own advisers on Jewish issues who both steer the candidate on issues of Jewish concern and act as a liaison to Jewish voters.

Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis and South Carolina Gov. Nikki Haley debated Wednesday night at Drake University in Des Moines Iowa, days ahead of the Iowa caucuses.

“I will be telling Bibi finish the job once and for all with these butchers,” said DeSantis, using Netanyahu’s nickname.

“Divesting from any company that supports Iran and ensuring that students are able to attend Jewish Day Schools safely is of utmost importance,” Florida Governor DeSantis said.

Nikki Haley, a former UN ambassador who has staked much of her candidacy on her foreign policy credentials, faulted Biden for pressing Israel to consider humanitarian pauses.

The former president, who responded to Hamas's attack on October 7 by criticizing Netanyahu for differences when he was in office, beat out Nikki Haley, Trump's ambassador to the UN.

DeSantis, a White House candidate, has taken a hard line against Palestinians, suggesting Gazan civilians be denied water and utilities until Hamas releases hostages it took during its attack.
