Israel, America’s closest ally in the Middle East, is facing existential threats from Iran and its terrorist proxies.
Yet, anti-Israel members of Congress, led by Senator Bernie Sanders and Representatives Rashida Tlaib and Pramila Jayapal, have introduced dangerous resolutions to block crucial U.S. arms sales to Israel.
These resolutions would cut off key defensive weapons that Israel needs to protect its citizens from Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iranian aggression.

If these efforts succeed, Israel will be left more vulnerable while Iran continues to fund terrorism and advance its nuclear program.
Blocking these sales would embolden Israel’s enemies, making it even harder to secure the release of Israeli and American hostages held by Hamas.
Meanwhile, these arms sales are not only essential for Israel’s defense—they also benefit the U.S. economy, as all weapons in these sales are manufactured in America, supporting American jobs.
The United States must continue to stand with Israel. Weakening our alliance only emboldens those who seek to destroy the Jewish state and undermine regional stability.
Congress must reject these reckless resolutions and ensure that Israel has the resources it needs to defend itself.
Contact your members of Congress and demand that they oppose these dangerous resolutions. Tell them to vote NO on any attempt to block military support for Israel.
