Today, Democratic Majority for Israel President and CEO Brian Romick released the following statement:
“DMFI supports measures that bring Israelis and Palestinians closer to living in peace and security — and opposes steps that move us further from that outcome. Just as we have spoken out against the unilateral recognition of a Palestinian state as Hamas holds 50 hostages, we also oppose Israeli Finance Minister Bezalel Smotrich’s proposal to construct 3,000 housing units in the E1 settlement. Both moves will inflame tensions and make peace harder to achieve. Instead, our focus must remain on pressuring Hamas to end this war.”
