Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu meets with a group of US Republican senators at his Jerusalem office, headed by Minority Leader Mitch McConnell.
They are joined by US Ambassador to Israel Tom Nides and Israel’s Strategic Affairs Minister Ron Dermer.
“You are a true friend of Israel,” Netanyahu says to the Kentucky lawmaker.
The delegation includes Senators Markwayne Mullin (Oklahoma), Jodi Ernst (Iowa), Ted Budd (North Carolina), Thom Tillis (North Carolina) and Katie Britt (Alabama).
GOP Senators Tom Cotton (Arkansas) and Jim Risch (Idaho), and Democratic Senator Alex Padilla (California) also met with Netanyahu while in Israel this week. Additionally, former US secretary of state Mike Pompeo was in the country.
Netanyahu also met with a Democratic House delegation yesterday led by the lobbying group J Street, including Rep. Katie Porter of California, and a bipartisan House delegation led by the US Israel Education Association.
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.
