WASHINGTON, DC (Press Release) – The Republican Jewish Coalition released the following statement applauding President Donald J. Trump and Secretary of State Marco Rubio for expediting military aid to Israel.
RJC CEO Matt Brooks said: “Let their be no doubt: President Donald J. Trump is the most pro-Israel President in US history. Yesterday, Secretary of State Marco Rubio signed a declaration to use emergency authorities to expedite the delivery of approximately $4 billion in military assistance to Israel.
“Since taking office, the Trump administration has approved nearly $12 billion in major FMS sales to Israel. As the Jewish state continues to defend itself in a seven-front war against Iran and its terrorist proxies, President Trump’s continued support for Israel is truly unprecedented, and deeply appreciated by pro-Israel Americans across our country.”

Conference of Presidents applauds Trump Administration’s expedited arms transfers to Israel
NEW YORK, NY – Harriet P. Schleifer, Chair, and William C. Daroff, CEO of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations, released the following statement:
“We applaud Secretary of State Marco Rubio’s decision to expedite $4 billion in arms transfers to Israel. It is a welcome sign that the United States remains committed, absent qualification or caveat, to the Jewish state’s ability to defend itself and maintain a qualitative military edge in the wider Middle East.
“Secretary Rubio’s announcement, which comes on the heels of a series of decisions bolstering Israel’s defenses, is a testament to the Trump administration’s determination to reinforce the bilateral relationship for the benefit of both countries. It is in this spirit that peace in the wider region can be achieved, building on the legacy of the Abraham Accords and in upholding Israel’s rights to protect its citizens and sovereign territory.”
