Conference organizers say American Jews, who largely vote for Democrats, are shifting toward Republicans, who have generally been more supportive of Israel.

Long considered a "can't-miss" annual event for GOP politicians, the national Republican Jewish Coalition (RJC) leadership summit is occurring at a crucial time, shortly after the Israel–Hamas war erupted.

"The summit has taken on added significance and added weight, given what's going on in Israel," RJC spokesman Sam Markstein told The Epoch Times.

The gathering also comes at a time when more American Jews may be ready to shift their political affiliation from Democrat to Republican, given that Democrats' support for Israel has waned, he said.

 

President Donald Trump and seven other Republican presidential hopefuls are scheduled to speak Saturday at the summit, which is being held at the Venetian Resort's conference center in Las Vegas.

About 1,000 people and more than 50 media outlets, including international press and Israeli TV, are expected for the three-day event, which begins Friday.

State and national elected officials will meet with "some of the most engaged and influential party activists in the country," Mr. Markstein said.
