P R E S S RELEASE

STATEMENT BY REP. JEFFRIES IN CONNECTION WITH THE

AMNESTY INTERNATIONAL REPORT ON ISRAEL
WASHINGTON, DC – Today, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries (NY-08) issued the following statement: 

“Israel is a democracy. It is not an apartheid state. Any conclusion to the contrary is demonstrably false,

dangerous and designed to isolate Israel in one of the toughest neighborhoods in the world. The special
relationship between the United States and Israel is anchored in our shared democratic values and geopolitical

interests. I strongly support that special relationship, and look forward to redoubling efforts in the region to
bring about a lasting two-state solution, with a safe and secure Israel living side by side in peace and prosperity
with a self-governed and demilitarized Palestinian state.”
