During a time when politics is increasingly divisive, you helped engage Congress and ensure strong bipartisan support to:
Keep Israel safe from terrorist rockets: When Hamas fired 4,300 rockets at Israel earlier this year, Iron Dome saved countless lives by intercepting rockets before they could strike Israeli communities. Your support helped ensure that Congress approved $500 million for U.S.-Israel missile defense cooperation in Fiscal Year 2021.
Fund U.S. security assistance to Israel without added political conditions: In April, 331 members of the House signed a letter in support of continued aid without added conditions. It cited President Biden, who said cuts or additional conditions on aid to Israel would be "irresponsible," "outrageous," and a "gigantic mistake."
Stand with Israel against discrimination at the International Criminal Court: A bipartisan Senate majority signed a letter that condemned the ICC’s political, discriminatory and baseless investigation into alleged Israeli "war crimes."
These efforts are significant. And they are just a few of the important developments you helped advance with your activism and support.
In the year ahead, we must continue work to build meaningful relationships with those who are in a position to shape America’s alliance with Israel and advance policies that help keep our ally safe. And it's your support that helps make that possible, Friend of Israel.
Our final fundraising deadline of 2021 is approaching.
