ICAN Statement in Support of Prime Minister Netanyahu’s Address to the U.S. Congress
Today, Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu delivered a powerful and moving address to a joint session of the U.S. Congress, reaffirming the unbreakable bond between Israel and the United States. His speech highlighted the shared values and mutual commitment to combating terrorism, advancing peace, and ensuring the security of both nations.
Prime Minister Netanyahu’s remarks were a poignant reminder of the threats Israel faces, particularly from Hamas and other proxies of Iran. His account of the atrocities committed on October 7th underscores the barbarity of those who seek to destroy Israel and destabilize the region. The Prime Minister’s call for unwavering support in the fight against these threats resonates deeply with ICAN’s mission to protect and preserve America’s commitment to Israel’s security.
ICAN stands in solidarity with Prime Minister Netanyahu’s call for continued U.S. support. The strategic and moral imperatives of this alliance cannot be overstated. As the Prime Minister eloquently stated, “For the forces of civilization to triumph, America and Israel must stand together.”
We commend Prime Minister Netanyahu for his leadership and his dedication to the safety and security of the Israeli people. His vision for a peaceful and prosperous Middle East, through initiatives like the Abraham Accords and the proposed Abraham Alliance, offers a hopeful path forward amidst the turmoil.
ICAN also expresses gratitude to President Biden for his steadfast support of Israel during these challenging times. The administration’s efforts, including the deployment of U.S. military assets to deter broader conflict, exemplify the strong partnership between our nations.
In alignment with ICAN’s policy positions, we reaffirm our support for all efforts to combat antisemitism and hate, strengthen U.S.-Israel relations, and ensure the safety and security of Jewish communities worldwide. Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech today was a powerful testament to the enduring alliance between Israel and the United States, and we remain committed to fostering this relationship for the benefit of both nations.
