By working with AIPAC, you can help ensure the United States and Israel stand together to combat these threats―now and into the future.
Together, we will work with Congress to ensure that the United States, in conjunction with our allies, responds strongly to Iran's recent escalations, including its expanding nuclear program and aggressive regional actions.
Together, we will urge Congress to support vital security assistance to ensure Israel always has the resources to defend itself, by itself.
Together, we will work to educate Congress about the continued threat of terrorist rockets, attack drones, fire balloons, terror tunnels, and more.
