WASHINGTON— Congressman Jim Banks (IN-03) met with Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at the Prime Minister’s Office in Jerusalem today.
Rep. Banks traveled to Israel this week on a CODEL led by Senator Joni Ernst (R-IA) with Reps. John Curtis (UT-03) and Mariannette Miller-Meeks (IA-01). The lawmakers will travel throughout the Middle East to meet with leaders and discuss current challenges in the region.
Said Rep. Jim Bank, “It was great to meet with Prime Minister Netanyahu to discuss the battle against Hamas and Hezbollah terrorists and the work Israel is doing to bring the hostages home. The U.S. must remain steadfast in its support of our closest ally Israel, and I will continue to fight to provide the backing Israel needs to triumph over terrorism.”
