FRIENDSHIP HEIGHTS, MD – A scheduling conflict prevents John Delaney from attending AIPAC this year. He attended every year while in Congress and he looks forward to attending next year.
Delaney releases the following statement:
“I am disappointed that a preexisting commitment prevents me from attending AIPAC this year. In no way should my schedule conflict be viewed as me not standing with Israel. At this moment in time, it is particularly important to support our strong alliance with Israel. Israel is being unfairly attacked and is subject to an effort to delegitimize its existence with the BDS movement. As President I intend to be a strong supporter of Israel and a strong voice in condemnation of anti-Semitism. I support a two-state solution and our alliance, and that is exactly what AIPAC has been fighting for, on a bipartisan basis, for decades.”
