Harriet Hageman Attends Israeli President’s Congressional Address
Washington, DC – Today, Congresswoman Harriet Hageman attended Israeli President Isaac Herzog’s address to a joint session of Congress. During his speech, President Herzog focused on the 75th anniversary of Israel’s founding and the legacy forged by the two nations’ longstanding partnership.
“While some of my colleagues in the House seek to deride Israel through their anti-Semitic and hateful rhetoric, I am proud to be a friend of Israel and was honored to attend President Herzog’s address. For 75 years, Israel has stood as a beacon of democracy in the Middle East and a staunch ally and partner of the United States,” said Congresswoman Hageman.
“The Israeli people have weathered countless trials throughout their nation’s history, and time after time America has stood by their side. The Abraham Accords, brokered by President Trump, are just the latest example of how our nations’ partnership furthers peace and hope in the Middle East, a peace that President Herzog called ‘a true game changer’ that has ‘altered the trajectory of the Middle East.’ I look forward to a continued partnership with an ally who shares our nation’s values, interests, and hope for a better, peaceful world.”
