LINCOLN, NE – On Thursday, Governor Jim Pillen concluded a four-day trade and solidarity mission to Israel. The state’s delegation promoted Nebraska’s unique beef exports to Israel, advocated for Nebraska-built defense technologies, initiated strategic partnerships between Nebraska and Israeli institutions and engaged with a number of companies already doing business in Nebraska. The delegation also saw firsthand how America’s alliance with Israel was critical in the latter’s defensive fights against Hamas, Hezbollah, and Iran since the barbaric attacks of October 7, 2023.
