Israel National News: U.S. Congressmen say Israel is an important friend

Two American lawmakers, Senator Bill Johnson (R-OH) and Congressman David McKinley (R-WV), visited Judea and Samaria on Monday, where they declared that “Israel is the most important friend of the United States.”

During the visit, the two lawmakers visited important sites in the region, such as the Ariel University and the Barkan Industrial Zone.

As they met with students at the Ariel University, Johnson and McKinley stated that they were against the “peace plan” being promoted by Secretary of State John Kerry. They further stated that they intend on telling their fellow lawmakers in Washington that the U.S. should help Israel achieve its goals rather than forcing an unwanted solution on the Jewish state.

Johnson and McKinley were hosted by the Yesha Council and the Yes to a Strong Israel organization, headed by former MK Rabbi Benny Elon.
