Evangelicals stand by Israel despite slip in polls

Although the larger GOP is at odds over how far to support Israel in its battle against enemies, at the Faith and Freedom Coalition’s Road to Majority Conference, evangelicals said they were unwavering in their advocacy for Israel.

After the Oct. 7, 2023, Hamas terrorist attack on Israel, Democrats were largely split on whether to support Israel or accuse the Middle Eastern nation of committing genocide in Gaza. In more recent years, the GOP has begun to split over support for Israel.
