These caucuses will help establish a foundation for peace in the Middle East by demonstrating the tangible benefits of interpersonal ties, trade, commerce, and mutual cooperation.”

We are especially grateful to Senators James Lankford, Jacky Rosen, Joni Ernst and Cory Booker, and Representatives Cathy McMorris Rogers, Brad Schneider, Anne Wagner and David Trone for their leadership.”
