Launch of the Allies of Israel Conference in Washington with broad international participation

The annual conference of the Allies of Israel Foundation kicked off in the American capital, Washington, with wide participation from parliamentarians and government officials, in addition to religious leaders and political experts representing more than 30 countries around the world.

The conference lasts for three days, from December 9 to 11, during which participants focus on strengthening international legislative cooperation, discussing the challenges facing Israel on the global stage, in addition to discussing the issue of rising anti-Semitism and pressing regional security issues.

The participating delegations include representatives from the continents of Europe, Africa, Asia, Latin America and North America, and they will hold closed sessions and meetings with senior American officials and members of Congress to discuss the issues raised.

The participants are scheduled to go to the Capitol building later to attend a luncheon and hold a series of important meetings. The Speaker of the US House of Representatives is also expected to deliver a keynote speech, in addition to members of the Allies of Israel Committee in Congress and heads of parliamentary groups affiliated with the Allies of Israel Foundation.

During the conference, the sessions will address multiple issues, including the rise of anti-Semitism globally, increasing regional threats, in addition to exploring opportunities for diplomatic and economic cooperation with Israel in various fields.

The following day, the participating delegations will visit the White House, where they will attend a briefing organized by the Office of Religious Affairs, which will address American policy, religious freedom, and various aspects of cooperation with Israel.

The conference will conclude its activities with a special ceremony during which a prominent figure will be honored, in recognition of their contributions to strengthening Israel's security and its position on the international stage.

The Foundation confirmed that this year's conference aims primarily to highlight the size of its broad international network, which includes more than 1,600 parliamentarians representing 64 countries around the world, reflecting the global scope of its activities and influence.

The director of the Foundation's branch in the United States pointed out that holding the conference in Washington represents a valuable opportunity for legislators from various countries to communicate directly with members of Congress, build stronger alliances, and work together in a more coordinated manner to achieve common goals.
