At a time when Israel faces growing isolation around the world, the largest-ever delegation of US lawmakers, representing all 50 states, arrived in Israel.

Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Gideon Sa'ar both addressed the delegation at an event at the Foreign Ministry titled “50 States One Israel” on Monday.

“Welcome to Jerusalem, the eternal capital of Israel,” declared Lior Haiat, Deputy Director for North America at the Foreign Ministry, as he opened the event.
