DeSantis Plans Israel Visit Ahead of Potential Presidential Run

Florida Governor Ron DeSantis will visit Israel and deliver a keynote address for an event titled “Celebrate the Faces of Israel” on April 27, just before he is expected to announce his candidacy for the 2024 presidential race. DeSantis has been a vocal supporter of Israel during his time in office and has pushed for state funding to improve security in Jewish schools. His visit comes amid ongoing turmoil in Israel over Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu’s plans for a judicial overhaul. DeSantis’ positions on foreign policy have drawn more attention as his likely campaign for president becomes more likely.
