— Today, House Speaker Kevin McCarthy (R-CA) named Congressman David Kustoff (R-TN) Chairman of the House-Knesset Parliamentary Friendship Group. During a bipartisan congressional delegation to Israel, Speaker McCarthy committed to forming a Parliamentary Friendship Group with the Israeli Knesset. Now, following last week’s Joint Meeting of Congress with Israeli President Isaac Herzog, Speaker McCarthy and Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries (D-NY) are appointing 12 members of Congress to serve as part of this historic alliance, led by Congressman Kustoff.
