Congressional Leaders Announce Formation of New Congressional Caucus

"Congressional Israel Allies Caucus"

(ummm... excuse me, but... Where's the CNN article? NY Times? LA Times? Hello out there? How come no one is covering this story???)

The Jerusalem Post article follows the press release below.


WASHINGTON, DC: Reps. Dave Weldon, M.D. (R-FL), Eliot Engel (D-NY), and Trent Franks (R- AZ) have announced the formation of the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus at a press conference held July 27 at 3pm in Washington DC.

The announcement comes as Israel continues to face international pressure to agree to a premature ceasefire as it confronts terrorist threats from Hezbollah and Hamas. Below is a brief description of the Caucus' purpose:

"Israel receives tremendous support from numerous Christian groups and denominations in the United States and around the world. Acknowledging this, on January 5, 2004, a Christian Allies Caucus was formed in the Israeli Knesset, Israel's parliamentary assembly. Its mission is to develop lines of communication between Knesset members and many of these Christian groups that support Israel's right to exist and prosper within safe and secure borders.

"The Congressional Israel Allies Caucus is America's response to that initiative. We intend to join with the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus and the other caucuses in legislatures around the world to support Israel's right to live in peace within safe and secure borders and to promote the Judeo- Christians values upon which western civilization was built."

Weldon and Engel will co-chair the caucus.
