Washington, DC -- The Republican Jewish Coalition strongly supports the Upholding the 1995 Jerusalem Embassy Law Act, which Senator Bill Hagerty (R-TN) and 34 Republican cosponsors introduced today.

RJC Executive Director Matt Brooks said:

Washington, DC -- Today, the House of Representatives voted overwhelmingly to provide $1 billion to replenish Israel’s Iron Dome missile defense system. This action came two days after Democrats stripped away $1 billion dollars in funding for Israel’s critical Iron Dome from a government funding bill. The Iron Dome protects Israeli civilians from indiscriminate rocket attacks launched by Hezbollah, Hamas, Palestinian Jihad, and other terrorist groups. Ten Democrat Members of Congress and one Republican, Thomas Massie of Kentucky, voted against Iron Dome funding today. During debate on the bill, Rep. Rashida Tlaib (D-MI) attacked Israel as an "apartheid regime" that is guilty of "war crimes."

In November, three years before the next presidential election, several GOP presidential  hopefuls will appear at the Republican Jewish Coalition’s annual Las Vegas conference. 

Washington, DC  -- The Republican Jewish Coalition celebrates the first anniversary of the historic Abraham Accords signed by Israel, the United Arab Emirates, and Bahrain with the support and leadership of the United States.

Washington, DC (August 2, 2021) -- The Republican Jewish Coalition received a letter on July 22, 2021 from the lawyers for the Jewish Democratic Council of America, demanding that the RJC delete a tweet asking why JDCA remained silent in the face of Rep. Ilhan Omar’s repeated use of antisemitic rhetoric.

The RJC’s response to that letter was simple: “We will not be silenced, canceled, or intimidated.”
