Speaking to Christian Zionist group, Florida governor and Republican US presidential candidate pledges support for Israel.
Washington, DC – Florida Governor Ron DeSantis, who is seeking the Republican presidential nomination, has reiterated claims that the West Bank is not occupied, suggesting that Israel should be able to continue to build settlements on the Palestinian territory without interference from the United States.
Speaking to Christians United for Israel (CUFI) on Monday, DeSantis underscored his pro-Israel bona fides, including his efforts to crack down on companies that boycott the US ally.
This is world news, you have a potential president denying Israelite occupation of West Bank despite overwhelming evidence of Israel building settlements in the territory.
He is not denying that they are building settlemens. He just doesn’t consider it occupation. Anything for more donors, I suppose.
Hes desperate because of faltering campaign funding if other reports I’ve seen are true.
