The Importance of the United States-Israeli Alliance: By Rosemary Becchi
I believe there is no alliance more important than that between the United States and Israel. It is a mutually beneficial alliance that allows both countries to advance the cause of freedom and security. Our countries are committed to the rule of law, human rights and freedom.
To preserve this relationship, the United States must aggressively confront Iran’s nuclear ambitions and replace the Iranian nuclear deal (JCPOA) with an agreement that will completely block Iran’s pathway to nuclear weapons, and ensuring that Iran can no longer spread terrorism around the world and to terrorist groups, such as Hezbollah and Hamas, that support and regularly attack Israel.
The United States must make clear that it stands with Israel by providing military assistance, insisting on the same commitment to the peace process from Palestinian leaders that Israel’s leaders have shown, and strengthening economic and political relations between the two countries.
I also believe that we must fight the troubling rise of anti-Semitism and the rise of the BDS movement around the world and here in the United States. I support President Trump’s decision to move the U.S. embassy to Jerusalem, a campaign promise past presidents made for decades, but which previous administrations failed to deliver.
Israel is a crucial ally, and support for Israel should be an issue that unites Americans across party lines. Unfortunately some in Washington, fueled by reckless rhetoric, are trying to make America’s relationship with Israel a divisive issue. And support for Israel, including in the US Congress, has never been in a more precarious position as it under attack on several fronts.
As a strong supporter of Israel, I will work across party lines to develop relationships with my colleagues built around our shared commitment to Israel and our shared values of democracy, freedom and diversity. I will also strongly advocate as a member of Congress against anti- Semitism that should have no place in Congress, our country or the world. And finally, I will support as a member of Congress the United States’ continued support of Israel both financially, diplomatically and militarily.
