Moran to Visit Middle East

Press Release

Congressman Jerry Moran will visit Israel this week to learn more about U.S.-Israel relations, the Middle East peace talks, Israel's security situation and the status of important economic and political developments in Israel.

"So much of what happens in our country is affected by what is happening in the Middle East," Moran said. "This visit will offer me the opportunity to learn more about the situation in Israel, the U.S.-Israel strategic relationship and the Middle East peace process. I expect to leave Israel with information and experiences that will be helpful to my work on national security and international relations issues in Congress."

Moran will participate in several high-level meetings with Israeli, Palestinian, secular, religious, government and opposition leaders, as well as experts in the peace process. Moran will also learn about U.S.-Israeli defense cooperation and Israel's economy.

The American Israel Education Foundation is sponsoring the trip. AIEF sponsors, among other things, education programs such as trips to Israel for community leaders and elected officials, seminars on Middle East issues at universities across the country and other projects that help to educate the general public about U.S.-Israel relations.
