Israel & the USA

Since it's recognition as a state in 1948, Israel has been strong and firm ally of the United States and Congress must do everything to maintain and support this relationship. Israel shares our national interest in the region. It is vitally important to provide Israel with the necessary support to defend herself.

Unlike its neighbors, Israel is the only nation in the region that shares our treasured democratic values and not only allows but guarantees freedom of religion to all, including Muslims, Christians and Jews. Israel also guarantees civil rights to all citizens, including women and Muslims.

Commitment to Israel is a bipartisan issue and as a member of Congress, I look forward to continuing our unwavering support for our friend and ally, Israel.
