Our support for the partnership is driven by its value to America. Israel is a critical and mutually beneficial partner in the pursuit of security, peace, stability, democratic values, and prosperity.

Our members are Americans. Our donors are Americans. Our Board of Directors is comprised solely of Americans, and it makes its decisions on its own. We take no direction or funding from the Israeli government, no matter who leads it.

Americans choose our country’s leaders. Israelis choose theirs. Whether Democratic or Republican, Labor or Likud, we encourage the democratically elected leaders to work together as befitting two allies.

Yes, we opposed the Iran deal. So did a bipartisan majority of Congress. We didn’t think it did enough for America’s interests. Yes, we strongly support Israeli-Palestinian peace and an expansion of the Abraham Accords. It can’t come soon enough.
