Van Hollen Over Israel Stance<\/h2>\n<p>In a sweeping critique during his <strong>first major policy address<\/strong>, \u2063former Maryland Governor Larry Hogan did not mince words about Senator Chris Van Hollen&#8217;s (D-MD) perceived lackluster support for Israel, signaling a fiery beginning to his Senate campaign.<\/p>\n<p>Hogan, a centrist Republican who successfully led a traditionally Democratic state for <strong>two terms<\/strong>, surprised many with his recent entry into the race for retiring Senator Ben Cardin&#8217;s seat.\u200d This move not only spices up the electoral battle but also amplifies GOP efforts\u2062 to win back the Senate this fall.<\/p>\n<h3>Hogan&#8217;s Condemnation at\u2064 Beth Sholom Congregation<\/h3>\n<p>On a strategic\u2063 Friday at the Beth Sholom Congregation in \u2063Potomac, Maryland, Hogan <strong>charged Van Hollen<\/strong> with failing to\u200c uphold the interests of Maryland&#8217;s Jewish\u2062 community while pledging to emulate Sen.
