Former Arkansas House Majority Leader and Fourth District Congressional Candidate Bruce Westerman (R-Hot Springs) today released the following statement announcing his policy on United States-Israel relations for the 114th Congress:
"On the eve of Rosh Hashanah, I am proud to declare this policy: Our two nations have become inseparable; Our friendship is essential to American foreign policy, and; Israel's rightful capital is Jerusalem. Given the ongoing crises in the Middle East, it is important that Israel knows that she continues to have a friend in the United States. As the Fourth District's next Congressman, I will fight to ensure the close friendship between our countries continues."
