— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 WATCH: Speaking at 'Turning Point USA,' Vice President JD Vance denies that Israel controls President Trump and admits that 'there are significant theological disagreements between Christians and Jews'

Vance also says that he has a 'very good relationship' with Miriam Adelson and that 'she doesn't hide the fact that she really loves Israel.'

In another part, Vance states that President Trump did not want to get the United States into a 'regime change war for Israel.'

These answers came in response to explicit questions about aid to Israel and American support of ethnic cleansing in Gaza.

— 🇺🇸/🇮🇱 NEW: Zohran Mamdani, in addition to significantly softening his stance on Israel and Zionism and acknowledging that he will have Zionists in his administration, is now backing a curriculum for New York public schools that defines Zionism as ‘the right to Jewish national self-determination'

The curriculum states that 'an important aspect of Jewish American identity is a connection to Israel,' citing a 2023 statistic from the Pew Research Center that 82% of Jewish adults in the United States said caring about Israel is an essential or important part of what being Jewish means to them.

Mamdani says the curriculum 'would celebrate the breadth and the beauty of Jewish life in New York's history.'
