Nikki Haley, a former governor and U.S. ambassador who withdrew from the GOP presidential race after facing significant primary losses, notably did not endorse Donald Trump, citing concerns about America's role in the world, including support for allies like Israel.

Former President Donald Trump won a decisive victory in the Iowa caucuses, securing 51% of the vote and narrowing the path for Nikki Haley, a pro-Israel favorite among Republicans.

Vivek Ramaswamy, a Republican presidential candidate, stated in an interview that the United States should reduce its aid to Israel and not provide them with more aid than other Middle Eastern countries after 2028.
