Jeff Mendelsohn, Executive Director of Pro-Israel America, issued the following statement:
“Now more than ever, it is important to have leaders on both sides of the aisle that value the U.S.-Israel relationship and are committed to strengthening that relationship, which helps keep both our countries safe.
“Representative Riggleman has proven his commitment to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship during his time in Congress. He has taken a stand against the harmful and divisive BDS movement and acted on legislation to re-authorize security assistance to Israel.
“Representative Suozzi has been a strong ally to Israel in Congress during his two terms in office. He has introduced and passed a bill that imposed sanctions against Hezbollah and has consistently voted in favor of pro-Israel legislation.”
