Wasserman Schultz Statement on Israel's Independence Day – Yom Ha'atzmaut

 
WASHINGTON – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement today marking Israel’s Independence Day, Yom Ha’atzmaut: 
 
“I am thrilled to wish a hearty mazel tov to Israel as she celebrates her 66th year of independence. Since its birth, Israel and the United States have continued to build a relationship based on shared values, priorities and ideals.
 
“I feel extremely privileged to have traveled to Israel with both President Obama on his official trip as President last March and with Vice President Biden last December to honor the life and legacy of Prime Minister Ariel Sharon.  As the first Jewish woman elected to Congress from Florida, I proudly bring my support and love for Israel to work with me every day. Particularly from my position on the State and Foreign Operations Appropriations Subcommittee, Israel can always count on me to continue supporting and fighting for our robust diplomatic, military and cultural relationship. Even as instability continues to grow in the region, the United States will stand behind our ally.
 
“Last week, we commemorated Yom Hashoah with a special ceremony in the Capitol with Israeli Ambassador Ron Dermer. As we remember the past and look forward to the future, we are constantly reminded of Israel’s miraculous establishment and growth as a homeland for the Jewish people. Mazel tov on your Independence Day, and may you continue to go from strength to strength.”
