House Republican lawmakers are traveling to Israel to speak with Israeli and Palestinian leaders amid the war in Gaza.
A roster for the delegation has not been released, but House Republicans, including Rep. Derrick Van Orden , will travel there to “learn more about the U.S.-Israel relationship, the peace process, Israel’s security situation, and important political and economic trends in the region,” according to a release from the congressman’s office sent Monday.
While House Republicans have visited Israel in the past, this week will mark the first such delegation to the Jewish state for the 118th Congress. In August, House Democrats also visited Israel, the second trip for House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries and Rep. Steny Hoyer had taken this Congress. The Israel-Hamas war has become a point of contention among lawmakers. Most Democrats and Republicans have rallied behind Israel, one of America’s strongest allies. However, some progressive members of the Democratic conference are calling for an end to the conflict as thousands of Palestinian civilians are among the death toll.
