As America's leading pro-Israel lobby, AIPAC works with both Democratic and Republican political leaders to enact public policy that strengthens the vital U.S.-Israel relationship. With the support of its members nationwide, AIPAC has worked with Congress and the Executive Branch on numerous critical initiatives -- from securing vital foreign aid for Israel to passing legislation aimed at stopping Iran's illicit nuclear program. Some highlights include:

• Passing more than a dozen bills and resolutions condemning and imposing tough sanctions on Iran during the past 15 years.
  
  
• Securing critical security assistance to Israel each year to ensure that Israel remains capable of facing increased threats.
  
  
• Supporting America's efforts to help Israel achieve peace while upholding the principles that hold the best prospects for Israeli-Arab peace in letters to the president signed by 328 House members and 76 senators.
  
  
• Passing legislation requiring the administration to evaluate all future military sales to Arab states in the context of the need to maintain Israel's qualitative military edge over potential adversaries.
  
  
• Passing multiple resolutions affirming congressional support for Israel's right to self-defense in the face of terrorism by the terrorist groups Hamas and Hizballah.
