Thomas DiNanno, U.S. under secretary of state for arms control and international security, will travel to Switzerland and Israel from Feb. 5-10 to advance diplomatic engagement on arms control and bilateral security cooperation, the U.S. Department of State announced on Wednesday.

On Friday, DiNanno will address the United Nations Conference on Disarmament in Geneva and hold meetings with representatives of allied and partner nations on “issues of mutual interest.”

DiNanno will then travel to Tel Aviv on Feb. 8 to lead a combined team from the State Department and the U.S. Department of Defense for the Joint Political Military Group Dialogue with Israeli officials.

The department stated that DiNanno’s visit will also include tours of Israeli military sites, where the under secretary will “see how the United States and Israel operationalize their national security cooperation.”

The outcomes of the primaries show that “being pro-America, pro-Israel is good policy and good politics,” the Republican Jewish Coalition told JNS.
The memo calls on the party to be aware of “the strategic goal of groypers across the nation” to take over the Republican party from within.
The New York City mayor said that he is “grateful that Leqaa has been released this evening from ICE custody after more than a year in detention for speaking up for Palestinian rights.”
“I hope all the folks from Temple Israel know that we’re praying for them,” the U.S. vice president said. “We’re thinking about them.”
The co-author of the K-12 law told JNS that “this attempt to undermine crucial safety protections for Jewish children at a time when antisemitic hate and violence is rampant and rising is breathtaking.”
