As a member of the House Permanent Select Committee on Intelligence, I traveled to Israel with Chairman Rick Crawford for critical national security briefings. We met with U.S. defense, intelligence, and diplomatic officials, as well as Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu, to discuss regional threats, terrorism, and ongoing conflicts in the Middle East.
Israel is our closest and most important ally in the Middle East. This trip reinforced just how vital that partnership is to America’s national security. President Trump is the most pro-Israel president in our history, and I will always join him in the fight to make sure the United States stands firmly with Israel and protects our interests at home and abroad.
