American doctors, scientists, and researchers aren't alone in racing to unlock treatments, vaccines, and other lifesaving developments in the fight against COVID-19. Their counterparts in Israel are making groundbreaking advancements as well. Just days ago, an Israeli study indicated that low levels of vitamin D increase the risk of contracting COVID. Israeli scientists are developing six different vaccine candidates and more than a dozen different treatment options for the deadly lung inflammation caused by COVID-19. That is why I am asking my colleagues to support this bipartisan amendment which will fund a new partnership between the U.S. and Israel to bring leading researchers together to defeat this devastating disease. By passing this amendment, we can deepen our expertise in the development of drugs, vaccines, AI solutions, respiratory assist devices, diagnostic tests, telemedicine, and more to help save American lives. America can't go it alone in this fight. We are stronger when we join forces with countries that share our values to confront our shared challenges. Madam Speaker, I urge adoption of this provision.
