At a time when Israel faces growing isolation around the world, the largest-ever delegation of US lawmakers, representing all 50 states, arrived in Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar both addressed the delegation at an event at the Foreign Ministry titled “50 States One Israel” on Monday.

The US lawmakers are in Israel for meetings with senior officials and tours across the country, underscoring their message that support for Israel in the US is a matter of national consensus.

“We value and cherish your support,” Netanyahu told the delegation of some 250 U.S. state legislators gathered at the Foreign Ministry, noting that there was an “active effort” ongoing to erode the ties between the two countries.

Quite the P.R. tour. “Support Israel or crazy stuff could happen…”
