The American-Arab Anti-Discrimination Committee (ADC) voices its staunch opposition to the upcoming address of Israeli President Isaac Herzog to the U.S. Congress. We cannot remain silent while the President of Israel, who is responsible for countless human rights violations and abuses of Palestinians is granted such an influential platform. Congress should hold Israel accountable for its actions, not endorse them.

We strongly urge members of the U.S. Congress and the Administration to reconsider both the invitation to President Herzog and the pending resolution. It is crucial to recognize the serious implications of endorsing these measures, which could be perceived as condoning human rights abuses.
