Congressman John Adler will always stand with Israel.  He understands that Israel has overcome natural and man-made obstacles to build a modern, tolerant, peaceful democracy with a vibrant economy.

Congressman Adler believes that the United States and Israel must continue working closely to strengthen and enhance their historic alliance and friendly relationship. The Congressman supports continued American foreign aid to Israel, believes in Israel's right to exist and self-defense, and is committed to support Israel in its efforts to advance peace and stability in the region. Congressman Adler supports a two-state solution that will allow Israelis and Palestinians to live side by side in peace and prosperity.

Historic Alliance
Congressman Adler strongly supports the United States’ historic relationship with Israel that dates back to its creation in 1948. It's an alliance built on shared values of freedom, open democracy, and justice. The Congressman views Israel as the only true democracy in the Middle East and strongly supports Israel's right to exist as a sovereign state. As a member of Congress, he is committed to Israel’s national and economic security. No matter what political or foreign challenges arise, Congressman Adler will stay focused on keeping the bond between these two nations intact.

Foreign Aid to Israel
Congressman Adler voted for unprecedented foreign aid for Israel, which helps to ensure that the country will be able to maintain its military edge over the intolerant terrorist groups that try to harm its people. Congressman Adler will continue to support foreign aid packages that include both military assistance and funding for special projects, like the Israeli Iron Dome Missile Defense System, to Israel at historic levels. The Congressman is working to preserve Israel's role as America's closest ally in the Middle East.

Iran
Preventing Iran from acquiring nuclear weapons is a global concern and of critical importance to Israel and the United States. Congressman Adler has voted for tough economic sanctions and divestment of funds tied to Iran.  He understands that these sanctions must be used to convince Iran to abandon its pursuit of a nuclear program.  While Israel holds open and fair elections, Iran jails and punishes those who seek a more honest government. The Congressman cosponsored the Comprehensive  Iran Sanctions, Accountability, and Divestment Act which imposes economic sanctions on companies that provide Iran with petroleum products.
