President Biden’s Yom Ha’atzmaut Message

April 26, 2023

Happy Israeli Independence Day – Yom Ha’atzmaut Sameach! 75 years ago today, Israel bravely declared itself an independent nation, and we are proud to stand with the people of Israel today — and every day — as they celebrate their independence.

No president has entered office with a longer record of support for the U.S.-Israel relationship than Joe Biden. President Biden has strongly supported Israel’s democracy, security and right to self-defense for decades since he was first elected to the Senate in 1972.

Also this week, Democratic Leader Hakeem Jeffries led a congressional delegation to Israel to commemorate Yom HaZikaron and further the U.S. commitment to a strong U.S.-Israel relationship. Democrats will always support Israel, and we are proud to have Democratic leaders who stand with Israel.

Thank you for your continued support and partnership.

Sincerely,

Halie Soifer
CEO, Jewish Democratic Council of America
