A ceasefire agreement went into effect on November 27 to end hostilities between Israel and Hezbollah that the Iranian-backed terror group initiated on October 8, 2023. Hezbollah has already violated the ceasefire numerous times.

AIPAC is leading the political fight to keep Congress pro-Israel and working with pro-Israel leaders in Washington to advance critical policies to help keep Israel safe.

Over the past year, Israel has effectively defended itself against simultaneous and sustained attacks from Iran and its proxies, thanks to Israel's Qualitative Military Edge (QME). Efforts to block arms sales to Israel undermine our ally’s QME, increase the risk of attacks against our ally, and undermine American interests.

Israel is on the frontlines against a global threat to America’s interests and values — Iran and its terrorist proxies who seek to destroy both the Jewish state and the United States.

As the threats facing Israel continue to grow, Israel will need to develop new technologies, purchase more sophisticated weapons, and replenish its munitions stocks.

On April 23, Congress passed the largest U.S. security aid package in the history of the State of Israel and vital sanctions bills to combat the Iranian regime.

On April 13, Iran carried out a massive and unprecedented attack on Israel. The regime launched over 300 missiles and drones from Iranian soil at Israel, the first time Iran has struck at Israel directly from its own territory. The United States must stand with our ally as it acts to defend itself, work with Israel to deter further attacks, and prevent Iran from acquiring a nuclear weapon.

AIPAC supports pro-Israel Democrats and Republicans, ensuring that good policy is also good politics. AIPAC endorsed 365 candidates in 2022. 98% of AIPAC-endorsed candidates won their general election. In 2022, AIPAC PAC was dollar-for-dollar the largest contributor to candidates in American politics.

The United Nations has long had a glaring anti-Israel bias, advancing biased and one-sided efforts to isolate and delegitimize the Jewish state. This anti-Israel prejudice has escalated dramatically since Hamas’ October 7 attack. Across U.N. agencies, officials have failed to uphold the body’s charter of neutrality and impartiality.

Every durable peace agreement between Israel and its Arab neighbors has been the result of direct negotiations between the parties. American recognition of a Palestinian state at this moment — in the wake of the October 7 massacre — would reward terror and disincentivize negotiations while achieving nothing tangible for ordinary Palestinians. The path to Israeli-Palestinian peace must start with removing Hamas from power and the emergence of a reformed and revamped Palestinian Authority committed to peace.
