Congressman Steve Driehaus Visits Israel

In a private meeting with Jewish community leaders, Rep. Steve Driehaus (D-OH) asserted that a nuclear Iran would not be tolerable, that it would be a tremendously destabilizing influence in the Middle East, and that the U.S. government should work with our allies to prevent the Iranians from completing their work on this program. He also said that while the Israeli-Palestinian conflict was deeply complex, he is optimistic that a peaceful resolution can still be found.
 
Rep. Driehaus made these comments following his recent trip to Israel with 28 other Democratic Members of Congress. The trip was sponsored by the American Israel Educational Foundation (AIEF), the charitable foundation affiliated with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee. AIEF brought a similar group of Republican lawmakers to Israel last month. Read more
