Press Release

Iowa Congressman David Young departed late Sunday evening August 6th to begin a seven day visit to Israel. The visit will focus on America's relationship with Israel and will include meetings with senior Israeli and Palestinian leaders and an itinerary of travel throughout the nation to gain a first-hand understanding of numerous regional challenges.

"Israel is one of America's most important allies," noted Congressman Young. "I look forward to further understanding the unique challenges the people of Israel, and the entire region, face as we work to pursue and achieve policies which will provide security and stability in a region where we have long prayed for peace."

The trip, cleared by the bipartisan U.S. House of Representatives Committee on Ethics, is organized and paid for by the American Israel Educational Foundation (AIEF), the charitable organization affiliated with AIPAC. AIEF is privately funded by American citizens.

Congressman Young departed on Sunday evening, August 6th and is scheduled to return to Des Moines on August 14th.
