WASHINGTON, DC- The National Jewish Democratic Council today applauded President Barack Obama for signing the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012. NJDC President and CEO David A. Harris said:
“Today’s action by the President is an important step forward for the U.S.-Israel relationship—and only the latest demonstration of President Obama’s commitment to Israel’s security. Once again, this President has taken a firm stand in support of Israel and we applaud him for signing the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Act of 2012—as all members of the pro-Israel community should. With today’s signing, there should be no doubt that this pro-Israel President stands squarely behind Israel.”
In addition to reaffirming the U.S.‘s commitment to Israel, the U.S.-Israel Enhanced Security Cooperation Act of 2012 resolves to provide Israel with military support, veto anti-Israel resolutions at the United Nations, expand cooperation with Israel across many facets of society, and assist with ongoing peace efforts with the Palestinians—all as President Obama has done. The bill also states that the U.S. will support all efforts to strengthen Israel’s missile defense, including the Iron Dome system—which is one of the President’s signature pro-Israel accomplishments.
