Statement

Date: July 18, 2023
Location: Washington, D.C.
Issues: Foreign Affairs

"The decisive vote by House Democrats in support of the Israel resolution once again demonstrates our strong commitment to the State of Israel and her right to exist as a homeland for the Jewish people. The special relationship between the United States and Israel is anchored in our shared democratic values and strategic interests. We reaffirmed that special relationship in a full-throated fashion.

House Democrats will remain steadfast in our ironclad commitment to Israel's security, as well as to a robust two-state solution where the Israeli and Palestinian people can live side by side in peace and prosperity. I look forward to welcoming President Isaac Herzog to Congress for the Joint Address."
