Foreign Policy Contrasts between Cruz, Rubio Sharpen at Jewish Gathering

By Published on December 3, 2015

New foreign policy contrasts between top-tier Republican presidential candidates Ted Cruz and Marco Rubio came into focus on Thursday when the two delivered speeches to the Republican Jewish Coalition meeting in Washington.

And voters at the gathering took note.

The two Cuban-American first-term senators have been locked in an escalating foreign policy battle since Rubio attacked Cruz for voting to curtail mass government collection of Americans’ phone data. Earlier this week, in an interview with Bloomberg Politics, Cruz fired back, portraying his Florida colleague as a “neo-con” interventionist whose support for “military adventurism” in Libya and Syria emboldens terrorists. Further, the Texas senator compared Rubio to Democratic presidential front-runner Hillary Clinton.

The differences between the two over the appropriate use of U.S. military power sharpened at the gathering of Jewish Republicans.
