The Jerusalem Post: Nancy Pelosi Prepares to Navigate a New Era of Israeli Politics, Returning To Speaker’s Gavel
“As we prepare for the 116th Congress, we are proud to support Nancy Pelosi for Speaker of the House,” said Halie Soifer, executive director of the The Jewish Democratic Council of America, as the group endorsed her for leadership. “Over the course of many decades, Leader Pelosi has proven her unwavering leadership on issues of importance to Jewish Democrats and the broader Jewish community. “This includes serving as a stalwart advocate for the US-Israel relationship and other US national security interests, as well as championing social justice issues.”
“Leader Pelosi has worked tirelessly to combat antisemitism and other forms of discrimination and fought to defend access to affordable healthcare, reproductive rights, and human rights domestically and around the world,” Soifer continued. “With Democrats taking control of the House, Jewish Dems look forward to working with Leader Pelosi and other Democrats to promote a domestic and foreign policy agenda aligned with Jewish and Democratic values.”
