We had the honor of hosting a congressional delegation at Mount Herzl led by Congressman Tom Cole, Chairman of the U.S. House Committee on Appropriations. During the visit, hosted by Chairman of the WZO Yaakov Hagoel, the members of the delegation layed a wreath on Theodore Herzl Tomb. The delegation was deeply moved by Herzl’s vision and the historic realization of that dream, alongside the sacrifices that have been made. The delegation also visited the military cemetery in Mount Herzl, where they encountered the stories of soldiers who fell in the recent war, including Israeli soldiers with American citizenship.
This delegation, composed of members of the Appropriations and Armed Services Committees, serves as an important bridge in military and security cooperation between and the . During these difficult times, as we face ongoing conflict, Herzl's vision continues to inspire us and strengthen our resolve in the revival of the people in their homeland.
