Dear Friends,

I wanted to make sure you saw the fantastic conversation J Street Chief
Policy Officer Ilan Goldenberg and I had yesterday with Senator Chris
Murphy on Word on the Street Live, covering everything from Iran to the
future of Democratic foreign policy when it comes to Israel – and more
broadly!

Here’s a quick glimpse of where our conversation went:

* Iran and lessons learned: We dug into the fragile ceasefire and the
disastrous decision by the Trump Administration to launch the war in
Iran. We also wrestled with where Democrats missed opportunities on
Iran, especially failing to quickly re-enter or re-negotiate the JCPOA
in the first months of the Biden Administration.
* Rethinking the US-Israel relationship: The Senator offered his take on
J Street’s newly released approach to US security assistance to
Israel, which includes ending taxpayer subsidies and moving toward
normalizing the relationship and treating Israel as we do our other
close allies.
* His vision for the future: As chaos erupts at the hands of Trump at
home and abroad, Sen. Murphy put the pieces together, arguing that a
strong foreign policy is only effective once we fix the rupture in our
own democracy.

I left our conversation feeling hopeful for the future, and I hope it
makes you feel the same.

With gratitude,

Jeremy Ben-Ami
President, J Street
