Jewish Federations welcome Israel's democratically elected leader Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to the United States at this critical moment in Jewish history.
 
This 10th speech by an Israeli leader to a joint session of Congress—the most of any country in history—exemplifies the extraordinary support the United States has provided Israel and cements the unbreakable bonds and shared democratic values that define the alliance.
 
At a time when antisemitism is raging, we must reinforce the message that Israel has a right to defend itself from horrific acts of terror and ensure that the attacks our brothers and sisters endured on October 7th can never happen again.
 
The United States is Israel's indispensable ally in this fight, and has been a bastion of bipartisan support during this crisis. Jewish Federations once again thank Congress for recently passing a strong security aid package with broad bipartisan support. We will keep working to ensure that the deep friendship between our two countries continues to flourish.
