Gingrich to Hold pro-Israel Call with Jewish Supporters Friday

Magie Haberman at Politico Reports: Newt Gingrich’s campaign sent around an invitation to a conference call  during which he’ll discuss U.S.-Israel relations with Jewish supporters.

“Please join current presidential candidate and former Speaker of the U.S.  House of Representatives Newt Gingrich for a conference call and question and  answer session on American’s relationship with Israel,” the invitation  reads.

The call will be held Friday.

This is a point on which Gingrich has been hitting Obama hard, as has much of  the GOP field with the exception of Ron Paul (who has been critical from the  other direction). Israel as cause celebre among GOP presidential prospects is  not new, but it has taken on new intensity this cycle, and it plays well with  Iowa’s evangelical voters.
