Statement

Date: April 14, 2022
Location: Washington, DC
Issues: Foreign Affairs

Congressman Lamborn recently traveled to Israel as part of a bipartisan group of leaders, focused on Congressional support for Israel, Ukraine, and the Biden Administration's concerning nuclear talks with Iran. Congressman Lamborn has been a staunch supporter of Israel and has served as a co-chair of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus since 2011.

"I was honored to represent the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus and meet with leaders from across the world in Israel last month," said Congressman Doug Lamborn. "It was encouraging to learn about the successes of the Iron Dome, which has saved countless Israeli and Palestinian lives and been a key component for keeping peace in the Middle East. With the current situation in Ukraine and the likelihood that Iran will pursue nuclear arms , it is more important than ever to ensure that our partner, Israel, has the capabilities necessary to defend themselves, America, and our combined allies. I will continue to support a strong working relationship with Israel and never waiver from my commitment."
