Last year, Senator Dan Stec (R,C-Queensbury) was invited by the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) to participate in an educational visit to Israel. This week, he was in Washington D.C. as part of AIPAC’s annual conference, which highlights the importance of maintaining a strong U.S.-Israel relationship.

Additionally, Stec met with several members from New York’s Majority Congressional delegation to discuss this relationship and thank them for their continued strong support for Israel.

“It was an honor to be invited to Washington as a participant in this year’s AIPAC conference,” said Stec. “The longstanding relationship between America and Israel has been crucial in strengthening our foreign policy and keeping our nation secure, and I remain committed to supporting policies that continue to benefit both our countries.

“Additionally, I was honored to be able to meet with our many of our state’s House Majority Representatives and discuss the Israel-U.S. relationship’s impact on state policy,” he continued. “Ensuring our state plays a crucial way in maintaining the connection between the two nations is an important issue and I’d like to thank my good friend and colleague, Rep. Stefanik, for hosting this meeting with the delegation and giving me the opportunity to express my appreciation for their steadfast support for one of our most important allies.”
