Shari & Nathan Lindenbaum hosted a NORPAC pro-Israel event for Congressman Steny Hoyer (D-MD) at their home in Teaneck.

Steny Hoyer is the House Democratic Whip, the second-ranking position among the Democratic House leadership. He is one of the most frequent visitors to Israel among members of Congress, having visited the country numerous times over the past 38 years with other House members.

On Iran and Syria, Hoyer stated that “Iran has used the conflict in Syria to establish a forward base of terror against Israel and support those who are committed to destroying the Jewish state—a goal Iran’s leaders have stated clearly and repeatedly. Americans stand shoulder to shoulder with the people of Israel as that country legitimately defends itself against threats from Iran or anyone else. It is a reminder of why a political solution to the civil conflict in Syria must not allow for any Iranian presence there from which it can terrorize Israel’s civilian population.”

Steny Hoyer is currently serving his 19th term in the U.S. House of Representatives and will be running for re-election this year. His primary will be in June.
