AIPAC Statement on Israel-Lebanon Framework Agreement
June 26, 2026
Today, Lebanon took a big step toward reclaiming its sovereignty from Hezbollah and living in peace with its Israeli neighbor. This step toward peace was made possible by strong American support for Israel.
The announced MOU kicks off a new 60-day window for talks. AIPAC looks forward to learning the full details of the framework for these negotiations, including whether the deal preserves the sovereign right of our democratic ally Israel to respond to the security threats it confronts.
AIPAC Applauds House Armed Services Committee for including Key U.S.-Israel Defense Programs in FY27 NDAA
June 5, 2026
AIPAC applauds the House Armed Services Committee for including Section 224, the United States‑Israel Defense Technology Cooperation Initiative, and other pro‑Israel provisions in its National Defense Authorization Act for Fiscal Year 2027.
We applaud President Trump and Secretary Rubio for their tireless work with our ally Israel to broker this ceasefire. This historic agreement between Israel and Lebanon makes clear that the obstacle to peace unequivocally remains Hezbollah and its backers in Iran.
Under President Trump's leadership, and through the courageous actions of American servicemembers—including our 13 fallen heroes—and their Israeli counterparts, the senior leadership of a regime that has terrorized the world and its own people met its just demise.
Congress Demonstrates Overwhelming Support for Israel
February 3, 2026
Today, Congress sent a powerful message about the strength and vibrancy of the U.S.-Israel alliance, providing more than $4 billion for vital security assistance and cooperative programs.
This is an extraordinary moment for America, Israel and the world. The enduring partnership between the United States and our ally Israel over the past two years enabled this diplomatic breakthrough and a just conclusion to the terrible war Hamas started on October 7: freeing the hostages, disarming Hamas and removing the terror group from power in Gaza. This peace deal creates a tremendous opportunity to forge a better future for Israelis, Palestinians, and people across the Middle East.
The mission of AIPAC is to encourage and persuade the U.S. government to enact specific policies that create a strong, enduring and mutually beneficial relationship with our ally Israel.
