The Conservative Political Action Conference (CPAC) opened on Thursday with a resolution affirming unconditional support for Israel, calling it “America’s greatest ally”.
Conference organiser Mercedes Schlapp said, "America stands with you, America stands with Israel, and we will ensure Hamas is eradicated. We will bring peace to the Middle East under President Trump."
CPAC head Matt Schlapp said that Trump’s presidency would not only aid those affected but also prevent “future victims”, echoing the Republican Party’s pro-Israel stance.
US Vice President JD Vance also spoke at CPAC, praising the ceasefire agreement, which he said resulted from US President Donald Trump's leadership.
