Israel is helping us in the battle against COVID-19.
Last week, new bipartisan legislation was introduced in both the Senate and the House that would further U.S.-Israel COVID-19 cooperation.
This legislation would create a U.S.-Israel grant program to promote key innovative solutions to COVID-19 and other health problems. The program would be funded equally by the U.S. and Israel, with potential matching private sector funding.
Below are additional video briefings for you to watch, as well as other news we are following this week.
Sincerely,
Brian Shankman
Director of Regional Affairs and Development
