Washington – Nearly 400 members of Congress signed a bipartisan letter to President Donald Trump calling on him to safeguard Israel’s interests with Syria’s civil war coming to an end.

The letter sent Monday from members of the House of Representatives and the Senate urged Trump to ensure that Israel has the support and materiel to maintain its qualitative military edge in the region.
It also wants economic and diplomatic pressure on Russia and Iran to retreat from their support for the Assad regime, and intensifying sanctions on Hezbollah, the Lebanese terrorist militia that is Iran’s ally.
“With the region in flux, it remains critical that we reiterate to both friend and foe in the region that we continue to support Israel’s right to defend itself,” it said.
The letter was spearheaded by the top foreign policy lawmakers in each chamber: Reps. Eliot Engel, D-N.Y., the chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, and Michael McCaul, R-Texas, its ranking Republican; and Sens. James Risch, R-Idaho, the chairman of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, and Robert Menendez, D-N.J., its ranking Democrat.
The House and Senate combined have a total of 535 lawmakers.
May we have a link to the signatures? I want to see if certain members of Congress signed it. I have some fears that some that are in powerful positions do not support Israel.
You mean like ilhan omar, tlaib, and AOC? Oh and the muslim republican justin Amish, who’s in the news calling for Trump’s impeachment? Yeah I doubt any of those names are on the list!
We must give thanks to Hashem for this support of Israel and us. In the past history, for a lot of the 2,000 years, it was not like that at all…Thank you Hashem so much! May you bring our full geulah soon. Beita Achishena.
Phineas:
You missed the point. Pelosi makes all these statements, and typical to a Democrat, they sound nice, but are without action. Some of her fellow Democrats made open, public statements that were blatantly anti-Semtic and anti-Israel. You have either heard them, watched them, or read about them. It would take a complete idiot to deny that these statements were as I described them. But Pelosi was confronted with this, and she simply moved the goal posts. She can believe that anti-Semitism is anti-American, but what ever a Democrat says will never qualify as anti-Semitic. Another pile of words from Pelosi with zero consequence. That’s why these Dems need careers outside politics. Academia is a good place for some of them, if we can render our campuses places to share knowledge, not indoctrinate. But moving goal posts is morally corrupt.
