Rep. Zeldin Traveling to Israel Tomorrow with House Majority Leader McCarthy and Colleagues

Statement

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, C -- NY-1), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Middle East and North Africa Subcommittee and Terrorism, Nonproliferation and Trade Subcommittee, will depart tomorrow for a one week visit to Israel with House Majority Leader Kevin McCarthy as the senior member traveling with a delegation of over 35 members of Congress. Congressman Zeldin co-chairs the House Republican Israel Caucus.

The trip, hosted by the American Israel Education Foundation (AIEF), was arranged to pursue solutions for foreign policy, national security and economic issues affecting both the United States and Israel.

"Joining with my colleagues in Congress on a trip to Israel will help strengthen the alliance between our two nations," said Congressman Zeldin. "I look forward to meeting with the Israeli Prime Minister and President to continue a relationship between our two nations that understands that a threat to Israel is viewed as a threat to America."

"Israel has always been a strategic partner of the United States in the Middle East, a region that is filled with instability and turmoil," Congressman Zeldin continued. "With the President's recent announcement of a deal with Iran, this trip to Israel comes at a very critical time."
