ZOA Joins Zionist Israeli Groups Advocating for Israel's Security & Sovereignty Over Concern of Biden’s Visit 

Zionist Organization of America (ZOA) National President Morton A. Klein released the following statement:

ZOA today proudly joined with four Israeli NGOs to advocate for Israel's Security and Sovereignty in Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley. A poster was released with the headline - "DON'T SELL US OUT!" and pictures of President Biden and Prime Minister Lapid. Many Nationalist/Zionist camp Israelis and their American supporters, including the ZOA, are concerned about the upcoming visit of President Biden to Israel and the implications for Israel's sovereignty in the Jordan Valley and Jerusalem.

ZOA National President Morton A. Klein said: 

"The sovereignty of Israel over Jerusalem and the Jordan Valley is completely legally, religiously and morally settled. President Donald Trump, Israel’s greatest friend in the White House ever, made that clear in terms of American policy and belief. Nothing that President Biden does or says during his upcoming visit to Israel should be used to justify casting doubt on the Jewish state's sovereignty in any part of the land of Israel. We are proud to join with these patriotic Israeli NGOs to point out this obvious fact. ZOA is also working with members of Congress to ensure that the administration gives due regard to Israeli sovereignty issues during his visit."

Founded in 1897, ZOA played a key role in the Jewish State's re-establishment. Today, ZOA is the leading major American Jewish organization courageously defending Israel and the Jewish people; fighting against all forms of antisemitism, including anti-Jewish boycotts; and promoting the Jewish people's lawful right to live in and settle historic Jewish lands. ZOA exposes that a Palestinian state would endanger Israel's existence; presents the facts about the Arab/Islamic war against Israel; and combats the anti-Israel lie that Israel is an "occupier" of her own land. ZOA spearheaded long battles to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, and apply civil rights protections to Jewish students. ZOA provides free legal assistance and programs to pro-Israel students at numerous college campuses. ZOA's bold, unapologetic voice has a significant impact on public discourse and policy.
