Israeli army, House Democrats tour 'Hezbollah tunnels' in northern Israel
2023-08-12
[An Nahar] The Israeli army has hosted a U.S. Democratic Congressional Delegation organized by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC).

The delegation of 24 House Democrats was led by House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Congressman the mealy-mouthed Steny StinkyHoyer
...Nancy San Fran Nan Pelosi's second banana, or plaintain, or mango, or whatever he is. Number Two, anyway...
The delegation toured an Iron Dome battery and "Hezbollah’s terrorist tunnels" in northern Israel, the Israeli army said Friday on the X platform, formerly known as Twitter.

"With this trip, House Democrats reaffirm our commitment to the special relationship between the United States and Israel," Jeffries said before his second visit to Israel this year.

"We reiterate our ironclad commitment to the safety and security of Israel and to the existence of Israel as a prosperous and Jewish democratic state," he added.

The Israeli army said it held "productive discussions" with the U.S. delegation on shared security challenges & "strengthening the ironclad bond between Israel and the U.S."

#2  It is, if I recall correctly, Congressman Jeffries’ fifth trip to Israel, and he makes a point of being known as a staunch supporter of Israel. Part of his district is in Brooklyn, so he has to keep the Jewish portion of his voters happy.

#1  For Jeffries this was more of a scouting mission so he could send info to his allies.
