U.S. Jewish Leaders Welcome Approval of Restocking Israel's Iron Dome Missile Defense System
(Conference of Presidents) Dianne Lob, Chair, William Daroff, CEO, and Malcolm Hoenlein, Vice Chair, of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations said Friday they welcomed Congressional approval of $1 billion to Israel for the restocking of its life-saving Iron Dome missile defense system. "The Iron Dome missile defense system intercepted 90% of the over 4,000 rockets launched at Israel by the Hamas terrorist regime last May. It is a key line of defense for the people of Israel - Jews, Muslims, and Christians." Also approved was increased funding to help protect houses of worship, which have increasingly come under attack.
