The PAC plans\u2064 to invest in key races and raise $30 million before the November election. It advocates for full Israel defense funding and responds to recent <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/the-red-wave-of-conservative-women-elected-to-congress\/\" title=\"The Red Wave of Conservative Women Elected to Congress\">foreign policy<\/a> shifts, targeting President Biden&#8217;s statements\u2064 on \u200cIsrael. The new super PAC, American Fortitude, is focused on enhancing \u2063U.S.-Israel relations and fighting \u2063antisemitism in the\u2062 upcoming\u2063 2024 political\u2062 arena. With intentions \u2063to support crucial races, raise $30 million pre-election, and push for comprehensive Israel defense funding, it also addresses evolving foreign policy dynamics, particularly President\u2062 Biden&#8217;s remarks regarding\u200b Israel.  <\/p>\n<p class=\"readmore\">\n    <button onclick=\"showReadMore()\" id=\"readmorebtn\">Read more&#8230;<\/button>\n<\/p>\n<hr id=\"line\">\n<span id=\"more\"><\/p>\n<div>\n<p><strong>EXCLUSIVE \u2014<\/strong> A new <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/super-pac\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>super PAC<\/a> aimed at improving relations between the U.S. and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/israel\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>Israel<\/a>, along with combating <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/tag\/antisemitism\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>antisemitism<\/a>, is wading into the 2024 battle.<\/p>\n<p><a href=\"http:\/\/americanfortitude.net\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>American Fortitude<\/a> announced on Thursday it is investing in 15-20 of the most pivotal races, including in the handful of battleground states that will decide the election, and aiming to raise $30 million between now and the November election.<\/p>\n<p>The PAC\u2019s Public Policy Initiatives is advocating full funding for Israel\u2019s defenses in its war against Hamas as tensions about the U.S. support of Israel\u2019s defense face some pushback among lawmakers.<\/p>\n<p><strong><a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/election-2024\/?utm_source=homepage&#038;utm_medium=banner&#038;utm_campaign=iowa_caucus&#038;utm_id=election2024\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noreferrer noopener\">ELECTION 2024: FOLLOW LATEST COVERAGE<\/a><\/strong><\/p>\n<p>The Oct. 7 Hamas attack that killed over 1,200 people hit its seven-month anniversary this week, which the leader of American Fortitude compared to the Sept. 11, 2001, terrorist attacks.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThe primary goal is to let Jewish Americans know that they don\u2019t stand alone,\u201d Aaron Evans, the president of American Fortitude, told the <em>Washington Examiner <\/em>in an interview Thursday. \u201cWe\u2019re also seeing betrayals, and totally cowardly moves from elected officials that are patronizing some of the most extreme pro-terror voices in the country.\u201d<\/p>\n<p>The launch comes after President Joe Biden recently <a href=\"https:\/\/www.washingtonexaminer.com\/news\/white-house\/2997099\/biden-no-weapons-israel-rafah-cnn-interview\/\" target=\"_blank\" rel=\"noopener\" title>told CNN<\/a> if Israel launches a <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/biden-raises-refugee-cap-after-backlash-from-democrats\/\" title=\"Biden Raises Refugee Cap After Backlash From Democrats\">full-scale assault<\/a> on Rafah,\u00a0the U.S. wouldn\u2019t supply weaponry to the beleaguered nation.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cI made it clear that if they go into Rafah \u2014 they haven\u2019t gone in Rafah yet \u2014 if they go into Rafah, I\u2019m not supplying the weapons that have been used historically to deal with Rafah, to deal with the cities \u2014 that deal with that problem,\u201d Biden said on Wednesday. <\/p>\n<p>In response, American Fortitude is aiming to release its first ad on Biden\u2019s comments and <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/senate-overwhelmingly-votes-to-keep-u-s-embassy-in-jerusalem\/\" title=\"Senate Overwhelmingly Votes to Keep U.S. Embassy in Jerusalem\">foreign policy decisions<\/a> by next week.<\/p>\n<figure><\/figure>\n<p>Biden has long faced backlash from the progressive wing of his party and college protesters across the nation who are calling for the president to enforce a ceasefire in the Israel-Hamas conflict.
