Jewish leaders: Lapid spoke of unparalleled relationship between Israel, US
The heads of America’s Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations issue a statement on their meeting with Foreign Minister Yair Lapid.
“Lapid addressed the unparalleled relationship between Israel and the US and the importance of a bipartisan commitment to the safety and security of the world’s only Jewish State,” they say. “A critical part of that effort includes engaging Jewish communities everywhere to continue to strengthen the relationship between Israel and the American Jewish community.”
