Newt Gingrich worked to one-up Mitt Romney and the other Republican presidential hopefuls
in his approach to relations with Israel, pledging to move the U.S.
embassy in Israel to Jerusalem.
The U.S. embassy is located in Tel Aviv, Israel's internationally recognized capital city.
Gingrich also vowed to fund every dissident group in
Iran and floated former U.N. Ambassador John Bolton as his pick to run
the State Department.
Gingrich's comments Wednesday at the Republican Jewish Coalition forum
marked an escalation in the contest for which Republican presidential
candidate can take the most staunch and unquestioning position in
support of Israel.
