December 3, 2020 (Washington, DC) — In response to the announcement of Congressman Gregory Meeks as the newly elected chair of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, Jeff Mendelsohn, Executive Director of Pro-Israel America issued the following statement:
“Pro-Israel America applauds the election of Representative Gregory Meeks as the new Chairman of the House Foreign Affairs Committee. A dedicated advocate of the U.S.-Israel relationship throughout his over two-decade tenure in the House, Congressman Meeks has co-sponsored legislation condemning the dangerous Boycotts, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement and has consistently supported the absolute and unequivocal U.S. commitment to Israel aid.
Pro-Israel America endorsed Congressman Meeks’ congressional reelection race in 2020 and looks forward to working with the Chairman-elect to continue to advocate for policies that advance and strengthen the critically important alliance between the U.S. and Israel as we work to advance peace, security, and shared prosperity.”
