Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met on Tuesday evening in Jerusalem with U.S. Representatives Andrew Clyde (R-Ga.) and Marlin Stutzman (R-Ind.).

The meeting came a day after Netanyahu met with U.S. Senator Dave McCormick (R-Pa.), expressing gratitude for the American lawmaker’s “deep” support for the Jewish state.

Also Monday, Netanyahu held talks with a bipartisan congressional delegation led by Rep. Mike Lawler (R-N.Y.), which included Rep. Sheila Cherfilus-McCormick (D-Fla.) and Rep. Michael McCaul (R-Texas).

The developments followed Netanyahu’s Sunday discussions with Sen. Jacky Rosen (D-Nev.) and Kristi Noem, the U.S. secretary of homeland security.

“Such hate has no place in our schools or our state, especially as we begin Jewish American Heritage Month,” said Maryland Gov. Wes Moore.
“While our ability to provide additional information at this time is limited, we will continue to keep the community informed,” the private D.C. university stated.
“This is not a prank. It was an act of intimidation meant to spread fear,” Vince Gasparro, a Liberal parliamentarian, told JNS.
“We welcomed this traitor into our nation with open arms,” the U.S. attorney for the Eastern District of Michigan said. “And he repaid us by building a bomb and helping our great enemy.”
The “failed approach” to lasting peace between the countries has “allowed terrorist groups to entrench and enrich themselves, undermine the authority of the Lebanese state and endanger Israel’s northern border,” said State Department spokesman Tommy Pigott.
“One has to wonder how that humble pie tastes for the Democrats today,” Sam Markstein of the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
