LEADER JEFFRIES, REP. HOYER AND HOUSE DEMOCRATS TRAVEL TO ISRAEL

Press Release

"With this trip, House Democrats reaffirm our commitment to the special relationship between the United States and Israel, one anchored in our shared democratic values and mutual geopolitical interests. We will learn ways Congress can continue strengthening this alliance and enable peace and stability between Israel and its neighbors. As we listen and learn, we reiterate our ironclad commitment to the safety and security of Israel and to the existence of Israel as a prosperous and Jewish democratic state.

I am pleased to participate in a Congressional delegation to Israel with Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries and other House Democrats. On my twentieth trip to Israel, I look forward to continuing my work to strengthen our U.S.-Israel relationship and to protect the shared principles of democracy, freedom, and justice that bind our nations together," said Rep. Hoyer. "Congress has a responsibility to foster further cooperation between America and Israel so that we can overcome grave challenges to international peace and stability. I've been proud to play a leading role in the effort to support Jews in Israel and around the world and to ensure Israel stands as a beacon of democracy for all. That work will continue on this delegation and upon my return."
