I rise to mark Israels 60th year of nationhood. As a cochair of the Democratic Israel Working Group I am proud to join my colleagues to celebrate the importance of Americas relationship with Israel and to commemorate the founding of our trusted ally in the Middle East. On May 14. 1948. the nation of Israel was born. bringing Jewish refugees from all over the world together. under one unified flag. providing a permanent home for a people persecuted throughout history. For 60 years. the United States has enjoyed Israels trusted friendship and support. Our peoples have worked together to promote respect. stability. and prosperity.
