Today, Representative John James (MI-10) released the following statement after Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s joint address to Congress:
“Today, Congress heard from Israeli President Isaac Herzog in celebration of Israel’s 75th anniversary. He told the story of the challenges Israel has faced in the last 75 years, and reaffirmed its resolve to continue fighting terror within and outside its borders. The United States will always support Israel and its mission, and I thank President Herzog for reaffirming Israel's commitment to our alliance. There is no room for antisemitism in America or across the world. Anyone who opposes the existence of Israel deserves no place in our politics.”
Actions pertaining to Israel taken by Rep. James in his first six months in office include:
Cosponsoring H.Con.Res.57, which expresses congressional support for the State of Israel.
Cosponsoring H.R. 3792, the U.S.-Israel Partnership and Abraham Accords Enhancement Act.
Introducing H.R. 3095, the Address Iran’s Malign Posture Act, which would impose sanctions with respect to foreign persons that support or conduct certain transactions with Iran’s Revolutionary Guard Corps, otherwise supporting Israel’s efforts to make the Middle East more secure.
Leading a letter with a bipartisan delegation of members of Congress urging Secretary of State Antony Blinken to expand and incorporate normalization with Israel and Accord membership into our U.S.-Africa strategy.
