AIPAC, the largest and most influential group advocating for a stronger US-Israel relationship in Washington, formally congratulates President-elect Donald Trump.
“AIPAC congratulates President-elect Donald Trump and Vice President-elect Mike Pence on their election victory,” the group says in a statement. “We also congratulate the elected and re-elected senators and representatives who will be part of the most pro-Israel Congress ever, and look forward to working with them and the new administration to further strengthen the US-Israel relationship.”
The group reminds Trump of comments he made at the group’s policy conference in March:
On the importance of the relationship:
“We will send a clear signal that there is no daylight between America and our most reliable ally, the state of Israel.”
On the importance of stopping Iran’s regional aggression and holding Iran accountable to prevent the regime from attaining nuclear weapons:
“We must enforce the terms of the previous deal to hold Iran totally accountable…We will totally dismantle Iran’s global terror network. Iran has seeded terror groups all over the world.”
Help us report truthfully on social media
As a multimedia journalist, my job is to take the quality, fact-based journalism produced by The Times of Israel newsroom and make it accessible across every platform — from Instagram posts to podcasts to short-form videos.
This is how many, especially young people, consume news these days. But misinformation is rampant on social media. Our team at ToI produces accurate, responsible short-form reporting on Israel and the Jewish world.
If you believe in the importance of factual social media journalism, please consider joining our reader support group, The Times of Israel Community. Your financial support is essential to sustain responsible multimedia reporting.
