America's Pro-Israel Lobby

[AIPAC 🇺🇸🇮🇱 @AIPAC]

AIPAC and our 6 million grassroots members—Democrats and Republicans from all 50 states—are proud to help expand the U.S.-Israel relationship!

Funded by Americans.
Directed by Americans.
Strengthening an alliance that benefits America!

The NYT published an entire piece on the global response to Venezuela’s devastating earthquake.

They named every country that sent rescue teams, even those that have only pledged assistance.

Yet Israel, which already has over a dozen rescue workers on the ground, was left out.

[Danny Danon 🇮🇱 דני דנון @dannydanon]

אני מחזק את משלחת הסיוע הישראלית שיצאה לוונצואלה בעקבות רעידת האדמה הקשה.

ישראל מושיטה יד לעזרה ומשתפת את הידע והניסיון שצברה בהצלת חיים.

כך נראית אחריות. כך נראית סולידריות.

[The Jerusalem Post @Jerusalem_Post]

A preliminary Israeli team arrived in Venezuela on Wednesday to support the country's earthquake recovery efforts, the IDF and Foreign Ministry announced jointly.

This is Israel 🇮🇱

[Israel Defense Forces @IDF]

🇮🇱🇻🇪A preliminary team from the Israeli humanitarian assistance delegation landed in Venezuela a short while ago, in response to the earthquake that struck the country.

The expert teams will begin operating alongside the local authorities to support the recovery efforts, while sharing the knowledge and experience the State of Israel has gained in responding to earthquakes, emergency situations, and humanitarian assistance missions around the world.

A big day for America & US Embassy Jerusalem.

[Board of Peace @BoardOfPeace]

UNRWA has no place in the new Gaza. We are turning the page on the complex of perpetual aid dependency & conflict. The people of Gaza deserve better.

[COGAT @cogatonline]

70-80% of the trucks containing humanitarian aid entering Gaza every day contain food, with over 1.7 million tons of food having been brought in since the start of the ceasefire. With dozens of active bakeries and thriving markets all over Gaza, the quantities of food that are being brought in far exceed the nutritional needs of the Gazan civilian population. Additionally, the brought-in food is guaranteed to be diverse and plentiful to meet nutritional needs over an extended period.

Together with the UN, international organizations, donor countries, and the private sector, COGAT ensures a steady supply of food is readily available.

[U.S. Mission to the UN @USUN]

UN Member States have a choice: Fund incitement, terrorism, and stagnation with pledges to UNRWA.

Or fund the Board of Peace, giving Gazans a path to peace and prosperity. History will not forget. @AmbUNReform

Launchers carrying Tamir interceptors from the Iron Dome system were seen recently during their first deployment beyond the US mainland, as part of a US military exercise in Guam.

I've stood in Hezbollah tunnels in Southern Lebanon during my research trips. The @IDF has provided numerous videos of major tunnel discoveries in Southern Lebanon just over the past few weeks. Crazy.

[Ambassador Mike Huckabee @USAmbIsrael]

Honored to stand with Foreign Minister @GidonSaar to sign the lease for America’s permanent new Embassy complex in the heart of Jerusalem. This is a concrete realization of @POTUS’s courageous decision to recognize Jerusalem as Israel’s ancient, eternal, and undivided capital.

יחד עם חברי שגריר ארה״ב בישראל @GovMikeHuckabee חתמנו כעת על ההסכם להקצאת השטח למבנה הקבע של שגרירות ארה״ב בירושלים, בירת ישראל.

החלטתו של נשיא ארה״ב @POTUS להעביר את השגרירות לירושלים היא אחת ההחלטות הדיפלומטיות החשובות ביותר שהתקבלו, והיא עשתה צדק היסטורי. בעקבותיה עשו ועושות זאת מדינות נוספות.

זוהי אבן דרך נוספת בברית הבלתי ניתנת לערעור בין ישראל לארצות הברית.
כפי שארה״ב חיונית ובלתי ניתנת להחלפה עבור ישראל - ישראל חיונית לארה״ב ולאינטרסים שלה באזור.

השטח לשגרירות הקבע במתחם אלנבי בירושלים יוקצה עבור השגרירות בהמשך להחלטת הממשלה בנושא.
נמשיך לחזק את היחסים בין המדינות.

AIPAC congratulates six more endorsed pro-Israel candidates on their primary victories in Colorado, bringing the total to more than 190 AIPAC-backed Democrats and Republicans advancing to the November election. We congratulate Sen. John Hickenlooper and Reps. Joe Neguse, Jeff Hurd, Jeff Crank, Brittany Pettersen, and Gabe Evans on their primary victories.

These results further demonstrate that support for America’s alliance with Israel remains both good policy and good politics nationwide, and AIPAC members are proud to stand with these leaders who support a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

The U.S. Marines are leveraging our partnership with Israel to help keep Americans safer.

[The Defence Blog @Defence_blog]

The Marines just brought their new missile defense system to Guam. It's based on Israel's Iron Dome, and it's designed to shoot down cruise missiles and drones.

It was a pleasure to visit @LockheedMartin Israel’s HQ in Tel Aviv this morning. Thank you to Chief Executive & VP Tal Galor and the team for the excellent discussions on how Lockheed’s world-class defense systems strengthen U.S.-Israel security cooperation and advance shared technological innovation.

Israel's short-range Iron Dome air defense system has been upgraded following an "extensive series of tests," the Defense Ministry announces.

The tests -- carried out by the ministry's Directorate of Defense Research & Development (DDR&D) and the Rafael defense firm -- were conducted against a "range of advanced threats, while incorporating operational lessons learned during the war and operations against Iran," the ministry says.

During the tests, "several upgrades introduced to the system were tested to further improve its ability to deal with scenarios simulating existing and future threats, including rockets, cruise missiles, and UAVs," the statement says.

Additionally, the high-powered laser interception system Iron Beam -- developed as a complementary system to Iron Dome -- was tested alongside the Iron Dome in "joint operation scenarios," from the Iron Dome's command center.

"The new capabilities demonstrated in the tests constitute a significant step in improving the ability to contend with a wide range of attack scenarios and are another component of the Defense Ministry's strategy to enhance readiness for an intensive security decade while preserving the IDF's qualitative and strategic advantage in defense and offense in future conflicts," the statement adds.
