Vance to address Republican Jewish Coalition privately amid tensions over Israel

US Vice President JD Vance is scheduled to deliver a private address to members of the Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC). The meeting takes place against a backdrop of unease among some coalition members regarding Vance's stance on Israel-related issues. Primary concerns cited by critics include his refusal to disavow commentator Tucker Carlson and his history of public criticism directed at Israeli political leaders. The session will be held behind closed doors, allowing for a direct exchange between the Vice President and the coalition's membership. As the RJC remains a significant influence on Republican policy toward Israel, the meeting is viewed as an effort to address friction between Vance and segments of the party's Jewish donor and activist base.
