Seven prominent, pro-Israel American Jewish organizations representing more than three-quarters of Jewish congregations and other constituencies in the U.S. sent a letter late yesterday to Israeli Prime Minister Bennett, Foreign Minister Lapid and Defense Minister Gantz, condemning "the ongoing terrorism and political violence committed by Jewish Israeli extremists in the West Bank against Palestinians, Israeli civilians, and IDF soldiers."
One Year into President Biden’s Term, It’s Time to Restore Asylum
The world is facing the worst refugee crisis in global history, and the United States is failing to do all it can to support those seeking refuge.
