Congressman Ritchie Torres (D-NY) is outspoken about his concerns regarding the dangerous new Iran deal emerging in Vienna. Rep.

Israel: UNHRC's new investigator has compared 'Nakba' to Holocaust
VIDEO • April 4, 2022
Israel has denounced the UN’s appointment of Italian legal expert Francesca Albanese to the post of Special Rapporteur on the situation of human rights in the Palestinian territories, arguing that in the past she has compared the Palestinian Nakba to the Holocaust in World War II.
"This is a complete farce and underscores the subversion of the Human Rights Council for propaganda," Hillel Neuer, executive director of U.N. Watch, says.
Hezbollah’s deep penetration of the Lebanese financial system threatens the legitimacy and stability of the state it claims to protect. And critics beware—vocal opposition to Hezbollah’s activities can be fatal. Even for a former prime minister.
In March, Congress signed the largest-ever funding bill for Israel's security, which includes many key pro-Israel provisions.
Critically, the bill includes the Israel Relations Normalization Act, which cements Congress’ support for the historic Abraham Accords.
Background: In 2020, Israel signed groundbreaking peace and normalization agreements, the Abraham Accords, with the United Arab Emirates, Bahrain, Morocco, and Sudan, brokered by the United States. The Accords have ushered in a new era of peace and cooperation in the Middle East.
The big picture: This achievement would not have happened without strong relationships with pro-Israel members of Congress from across the political spectrum.
With your help, AIPAC will continue to work with Congress to strengthen and expand the new partnerships between Israel and its neighbors, for the benefit of Israel, the United States and the region.
