Pence Condemns Trump and GOP for Appeasement as Israel Faces Attacks

Former Vice President Mike Pence criticized Donald Trump and other Republicans for their isolationist stance, blaming it for the recent Hamas attack on Israel. Pence accused Trump and others of appeasement and retreat on the world stage, breaking from their previously united approach to Israel. The role of the United States in global security has become a point of contention among Republican presidential candidates, with Pence advocating for engagement and support for Ukraine. While most candidates expressed support for Israel and criticized the Biden administration, Trump focused on his legal battle with the New York Attorney General. Pence's criticism of Trump marks a significant rift in their previously aligned positions on Israel.
