Responding to the remarks by Vice President Mike Pence to a Special Session of the Knesset, Rabbi Steven Pruzansky, Eastern Regional Vice President of the Coalition for Jewish Values, made the following statement:

“Vice-President Pence beautifully articulated the Trump Administration’s approach to the Middle East, one which is grounded in realism and not fantasy, and which expresses heartfelt support for Israel as a trusted friend and ally rather than a client state or a nuisance.”
