AIPAC Update
This week, we saw another important achievement in Congress — a direct result of our work together with Democrats and Republicans to keep Israel safe.
In an overwhelming display of bipartisan support, the House of Representatives passed the Stop Iranian Drones Act on Wednesday.
This achievement — passed with a vote of 424-2 — would not have been possible without strong relationships with pro-Israel members of Congress from across the political spectrum. It is a byproduct of your work educating and engaging our lawmakers on the importance of a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.
In the

past year alone , Iran and its proxies have used drones to attack American troops, target international shipping and critical infrastructure in the UAE and Saudi Arabia, and carry out an attempted assassination of the Iraqi prime minister.
This bipartisan bill — which has now been sent to the Senate — will help stop the Iranian drone threat and prevent Iran and its terror proxies from acquiring more lethal drones that threaten America, Israel and our other regional allies.

Please thank your representative for supporting this important bill and urge your senators to support it as well.
Thank you for your ongoing commitment to keeping Israel safe and ensuring bipartisan support for the U.S.-Israel relationship.
