Florida Gov. Ron DeSantis took part in a CNN town hall event on Tuesday night discussing a wide range of topics with top moments that included immigration, funding overseas conflicts, former President Donald Trump, and the state of the GOP race.

DeSantis was asked by a member of the audience which conflict was most worthy of United States support: Israel or Ukraine.

"That's an easy answer. It's the state of Israel, they are our strongest allies in the Middle East," DeSantis said, later adding that "in terms of the two-state solution, I don't think you can have a two-state solution when the Palestinian Arabs will view it as a stepping stone to the destruction of Israel."

The Florida governor also discussed focusing on the ongoing crisis at the southern border before looking overseas.

"Day one, we're going to declare it a national emergency. I'm sending the military to the southern border. We're going to stop the invasion," DeSantis said when speaking about the ongoing border crisis, before making a repeated complaint about Trump's handling of border wall contruction.
