Happy Holidays to All!

Today we were honored to be invited to a Menorah lighting ceremony at a local business, Direct Meds. In addition to the celebration, we were able to discuss current security concerns of the local Jewish community and how the Department can address those concerns. Thank you Dr. Kazmir for including us!

We condemn in the strongest possible terms the barbaric Islamic State ambush in Syria that murdered two United States service members and a U.S. civilian interpreter, and wounded others in uniform. This was a deliberate act of jihadist terror—an ISIS attack targeting Americans and our partners—and it underscores, once again, that the Islamic State remains a lethal enemy committed to murdering innocents and striking those who stand against its ideology of death.

The loss of American soldiers and a civilian interpreter is an attack not only on the United States, but on the rule of law and on every nation fighting terrorism. These men and women were serving to prevent ISIS from resurging and to protect civilians from the very brutality ISIS inflicts wherever it operates. Their sacrifice must be met with resolve, not equivocation.

We stand with the families of the fallen and pray for the full recovery of the wounded. We also stand unequivocally with the U.S. Armed Forces and our allies in the fight to dismantle ISIS—its networks, its financiers, and its propaganda—wherever they operate.

There must be zero tolerance for terrorism and zero ambiguity about consequences. ISIS understands only strength. Any response must be decisive, sustained, and aimed at ensuring this terrorist organization is degraded, hunted down, and denied the ability to strike again. The United States and its partners must finish the job.

We are devastated by the horrific news from Bondi Beach in Sydney. On the first day of Hanukkah—a time meant to celebrate light, faith, and resilience—innocent lives were taken and many others injured in an act of unspeakable hatred.

As Vice President of the American Jewish Congress and a Board Member of Chabad, I unequivocally condemn these barbaric attacks against the Jewish people and against all that humanity stands for. We mourn the victims, pray for the wounded, and stand in unwavering solidarity with the Jewish community in Sydney and around the world.

The warning signs were visible long before this tragedy. Antisemitic incidents across Australia have surged, while meaningful deterrence and protection lagged behind. The failure to confront this reality with urgency emboldened extremists and left Jewish communities exposed. The outcome of that failure is now heartbreakingly evident.

Terror will not extinguish our light. We will continue to live openly, proudly, and united in our Jewish faith—and we will demand accountability, protection, and action.

We are deeply saddened to learn of the passing of U.S. Army Specialist Sarah Beckstrom, who succumbed to her injuries following the tragic targeted shooting near the White House. Specialist Beckstrom served her country with honor, courage, and unwavering dedication, and her loss is felt profoundly across the nation.
Our hearts go out to her family, loved ones, fellow service members, and the entire West Virginia National Guard community during this time of immeasurable grief. We also continue to hold in our thoughts the other service member who was wounded in this senseless act.
May Specialist Beckstrom’s service and sacrifice always be remembered, and may her family find strength and comfort in the support of a grateful nation. 🇺🇸

It was a true privilege to participate in the Opening Bell Ceremony at the Tel Aviv Stock Exchange.

Standing on that platform—alongside global mayors, innovators, and leaders—was a powerful reminder of Israel’s central place in the world of technology, finance, and groundbreaking urban solutions. The energy inside the TASE was electric, reflecting a country whose creativity and resilience continue to inspire cities everywhere.

Our delegation had the opportunity to witness how Israel’s capital markets help fuel its vibrant innovation ecosystem, supporting the startups, entrepreneurs, and visionary companies that are shaping the future.

Grateful for the warm hospitality and the chance to celebrate this moment with the leadership of the TASE and our international partners. Moments like these embody the spirit of global cooperation that drives the 34th International Mayors Conference.

As Vice President of the American Jewish Congress, it was an honor to meet Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu at his office in Jerusalem.

Under the leadership of our Chairman Jack Rosen and President Daniel Rosen, the delegation of global mayors participating in the 34th International Mayors Conference experienced firsthand not only the marvels of Israeli technology and innovation, but also engaged directly with the key decision-makers shaping Israel’s future.

This unique opportunity allowed our mayors to hear directly from national leaders, understand Israel’s security and diplomatic priorities, and explore the cutting-edge solutions that are transforming cities and communities around the world.

Proud to continue strengthening these global partnerships and bringing impactful leadership together in Israel.
