Elise Stefanik To Deliver Remarks at the Knesset, Becoming Highest-Ranking Member of Congress To Visit Israel Since October 7

‘The majority of Americans support you and we always will — since President Truman’s recognition of Israel 11 minutes after David Ben-Gurion declared Israel’s independence 76 years and five days ago, America stands with Israel,’ she will say, according to prepared remarks shared with the Sun.

The fourth-ranking House Republican, Congresswoman Elise Stefanik, will address members of the Knesset on Monday, according to plans and remarks shared with the New York Sun. She will be the highest-ranking House member to visit Israel since the October 7 attacks. 

Ms. Stefanik, who currently serves as the Republican conference chairwoman, has doggedly investigated antisemitism on college campuses here at home, and emerged as a fierce critic of President Biden’s foreign policy record on the Middle East. She will say that the president’s policies with respect to Rafah, at Gaza, and American arms shipments to Israel, do not represent the will of the American people.
