Vice President JD Vance is planning to host a Shabbos 'dinner' this week as part of an outreach effort to Jewish Republicans, with a guest list that was originally expected to include around 40 people but has since been sharply scaled back to keep the conversations private, i24NEWS reports. The dinner comes amid a turbulent stretch in Vance’s relationship with pro-Israel Republicans and Israeli officials. Vance recently said Israel remains an important U.S. military and intelligence partner, but stressed that Washington will disagree with Israel when necessary and “pursue America’s interests.”
