Concerns over rising antisemitism within the Republican Party took center stage at the annual gathering of leading Jewish Republicans in Las Vegas, overshadowing initial celebrations of a Middle East ceasefire. The conference shifted focus after a conservative think tank leader defended a talk show host's decision to platform a far-right Holocaust denier, prompting widespread condemnation from speakers. Leaders and attendees called for urgent action to root out anti-Jewish sentiment from the party, highlighting internal divisions and generational tensions. While there was joy over the release of Israeli hostages and praise for the former president's role in brokering the ceasefire, doubts remained about the durability of peace in the region and the party's ability to address antisemitism in its ranks.
