This weekend, I was grateful to lead nine of our colleagues in the House of Representatives on a congressional delegation to Jerusalem for the opening of the U.S. Embassy with Ambassador David Friedman, Ivanka Trump, and Jared Kushner. I was joined by Representatives Mario Diaz-Balart of Florida, Ron DeSantis of Florida, Jody Hice of Georgia, George Holding of North Carolina, Steve Knight of California, Tom Rice of South Carolina, Dennis Ross of Florida, Scott Taylor of Virginia, and Lee Zeldin of New York. I appreciate Armed Services Committee Chairman Mac Thornberry for authorizing the delegation. We had the opportunity to meet with members of the Knesset, the Israeli parliament, and I was especially grateful, as a senior member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, to meet with the Knesset Foreign Affairs Chairman Avi Dichter. Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu welcomed us to his office and confirmed our shared heritage. We must work together to stop Hamas terrorist attacks using human shields financed by Iran. With President Donald Trump, the American-Israeli alliance has never been stronger to protect American families. In conclusion, God bless our troops, and we will never forget September the 11th in the global war on terrorism. ____________________
