The war between Israel and Hamas is testing the Republican party’s isolationist shift

Republican presidential hopefuls Nikki Haley and Ron DeSantis offer conflicting messages on foreign policy challenges, testing the GOP’s embrace of isolationism. Haley stands with Israel, promises to “decimate” the Iranian economy, and calls for continued funding for Ukraine. DeSantis focuses on the US-Mexico border and believes Israel has a right to defend itself. The Republican Party’s stance on foreign policy is being questioned by primary voters in New Hampshire.
