AIPAC is Washington’s most important resource for policymakers involved in Middle East issues and the U.S.-Israel relationship. AIPAC provides extensive resources, including bill summaries, issue analysis and briefing materials, on important initiatives the organization is supporting.
With Israel being forced to take increased measures in Gaza to defend its citizens from indiscriminate rocket and mortar fire, a bipartisan coalition of American leaders is voicing critical support for Israel's defensive actions. Since Israel’s 2005 withdrawal from Gaza, Hamas has launched more than 6,300 rockets and mortars—including 600 in the past six weeks—at Israeli population centers. AIPAC members are urging their lawmakers to stand with Israel by making statements affirming their support for the Jewish state’s right to defend its citizens from terrorism.
As Israel faces increased and unprecedented threats, the need for increased U.S. security assistance to the Jewish state remains greater than ever.
As Israel undergoes a political transition, it still remains committed to peace and continues to take numerous steps to encourage peace negotiations with its neighbors and to facilitate humanitarian assistance to the Palestinians.
