House Democratic Leader Jeffries: U.S. to Ensure Israel's Security
(Jerusalem Post) Lahav Harkov - The U.S. will continue to ensure Israel's security no matter how Israel's judicial reform debate ends, U.S. House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) said Monday during a visit to Israel by 24 Democrats. "The two things that bind our countries together relate to shared democratic values and shared strategic interests related to the very tough neighborhood Israel lives in. The need to ensure we maintain Israel's qualitative military edge will still be with us, regardless of where Israel lands in terms of the judicial reform effort." Jeffries said he was "confident the security relationship between the U.S. military and the IDF will remain strong, consistent, reliable, and robust. The stakes are too high in a very dangerous world for anything other than our continued security cooperation to remain ironclad."
