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.

Yahya Sinwar was a cruel terrorist whose death represents a major milestone in Israel’s just war against Hamas barbarism.

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.

We welcome the announcement today of a plan to end the conflict in Gaza, disarm Hamas, and free the hostages. We appreciate the determined efforts of President Donald Trump and Special Envoy Steve Witkoff to help negotiate this plan together with Israel.

The unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state today by the United Kingdom, Canada and Australia will make peace and reconciliation even more elusive by rewarding and emboldening Hamas, and those who have done so are now responsible for the repercussions of this irresponsible and malicious action.

Today’s action in the United Nations Security Council critically restores international restrictions and sanctions targeting the Iranian regime’s nuclear and missile programs.

By threatening to unilaterally recognize a Palestinian state, Prime Minister Starmer joins President Macron in rewarding Hamas for its barbaric terrorism against the Jewish state and its refusal to free the 50 hostages it's held captive for 662 days.

AIPAC applauds the U.S. Senate for standing with Israel and once again rejecting Senator Sanders' attempt to ban vital weapons sales to the Jewish state as it fights to protect its families from Iran and its terrorist proxies. Several times in less than a year, the overwhelming bipartisan majority of the Senate has repeatedly rebuffed Bernie Sanders’ dangerous efforts to undermine Israel’s security.

AIPAC commends the House for adopting the Illegitimate Court Counteraction Act (H.R. 8282), which imposes sanctions on persons aiding the International Criminal Court's (ICC) morally bankrupt and legally baseless attack against Israel.

AIPAC commends Congress for including key pro-Israel provisions in the funding bills for Fiscal Year 2024. Importantly, the legislation provides the full $3.3 billion in U.S. security assistance to Israel, as agreed to in the 2016 Memorandum of Understanding. This essential funding, with no added political conditions, is urgently needed by our ally as Israel battles Hamas and other Iranian terrorist proxies on its borders.
