Pro-Israel Democrats Welcome New House Democratic Minority Leader

(Jewish Insider) Marc Rod - Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY), 52, was elected on Wednesday to lead House Democrats in the next Congress, replacing Nancy Pelosi and marking a generational shift. "The Democratic Party and the pro-Israel camp need someone just like Hakeem to lead us into the future. In fact, I would say, if the pro-Israel community wanted to create a Democratic leader for the future, we would create Hakeem Jeffries," former Rep. Robert Wexler (D-FL) told Jewish Insider. "He's respectful of the American Jewish community. He identifies with it. And he's just a really nice guy on top of it." Former Rep. Steve Israel (D-NY) said that Jeffries "came to Congress as a voice of pro-Israel activism. And he served with the same voice and he has an ability to organize coalitions across a very diverse spectrum that will support U.S.-Israeli relations." Israel called it "a very positive and heartening step in the right direction for U.S.-Israeli relations."
