At the Republican presidential debate in Miami on Wednesday, candidates expressed their full support for Israel's military campaign against Hamas and downplayed the rise in anti-Muslim sentiment in the US. Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis (R) criticized President Joe Biden for his initiative to combat what he called “so-called Islamophobia”, while the other candidates called on Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to “finish the job once and for all with these butchers”. The debate reflects the Republican Party’s strong support for Israel and its hardline stance on Iran, as well as its reluctance to address the issue of anti-Muslim sentiment in the US.
