Important Information for U.S. Citizens in Israel

The recent unprovoked Hamas terrorist attacks on innocent Israeli children, women, men, and elderly underscores why I will always stand with Israel — our most vital ally in the region — and support our partner’s right to defend herself from those who seek her destruction. The U.S.-Israel relationship will remain, as it has for decades, ironclad. It is key to America’s national security.
