#Honoring70

As Israel celebrates its 70th Independence Day, JNS is proud to partner with the Embassy of Israel in Washington, D.C., in recognizing 70 honorees who have made an invaluable contribution to strengthening Israel and its alliance with America.

In a survey asked every year for decades, nearly three-quarters (74 percent) of Americans express a favorable opinion of Israel, the highest number in nearly 30 years.
