FM hails Senate’s approval of aid for Israel: ‘Clear testament to the strength of our alliance’
Foreign Minister Israel Katz celebrates the US Senate’s approval of billions in US military assistance for Israel as part of a larger foreign aid package, thanking the legislative chamber’s Democratic and Republic leaders for their “unwavering commitment to Israel’s security.”
“As we mark 200 days to the barbaric October 7th terror attack by Hamas, Israel and the United States stand together in the fight against terrorism, defending democracy and our shared values,” Katz says in a statement. “The Israel aid package that now passed both houses of Congress is a clear testament to the strength of our alliance and sends a strong message to all our enemies.”
“The Israel-US strategic partnership is unbreakable,” he adds.
