JDCA Responds to Calls for Conditioning Aid to Israel

October 29, 2019

WASHINGTON – Chairman of the Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) Ron Klein stated:

“The Jewish Democratic Council of America (JDCA) opposes unilateral Israeli annexation of the West Bank because it would impede prospects for a two-state solution to the Israeli-Palestinian conflict.

We strongly support the mutually beneficial military and security relationship between the U.S. and Israel, as well as the continuation of full military aid, per the 10-year U.S.-Israel Memorandum of Understanding (MOU), as agreed to by the Obama administration.

We do not support reducing or conditioning assistance to Israel. We agree with all of the major presidential Democratic candidates for their support for a two-state solution and opposition to the global Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions (BDS) movement.”
