Foreign Ministry brings bi-partisan delegation of 250 US state legislators to Israel

Here for just five days, the legislators – five from each state – are seeing for themselves the conflict as well as Israel’s prowess and are meeting with top leaders. Foreign Ministry officials hope they will be imbued with an better understanding of US-Israel relations that will be manifested in their support as they continue in their political careers. Reporter Arieh O’Sullivan spoke about the delegation with Nadav Zysblat, the director for consulates in the US Division of the Foreign Ministry.
