American Jewish Committee stands with the United States and Israel as they undertake targeted military action to stop the Iranian regime’s global terror campaign. The world will be a safer place when the threat of the Iranian regime’s illicit nuclear and missile programs, along with the IRGC, is dismantled once and for all. We hope today’s military action is a decisive step toward fulfilling that vital mission.

We are concerned by recent irresponsible Arab social media posts that seem intent on sowing misunderstanding and division between U.S. allies in the Arabian Gulf, undermining the Abraham Accords, and promoting conspiracy narratives about Israel and Jews. The United Arab Emirates has demonstrated courageously that regional engagement and normalization can advance security, innovation, and economic growth.

American Jewish Committee (AJC) is closely monitoring the ongoing negotiations in Geneva between the United States and the Iranian regime concerning Iran’s nuclear program. AJC supports a resolution that permanently prevents the Iranian regime from obtaining a nuclear weapon, curbs its destabilizing regional activities, and advances accountability for its human rights abuses. Anything less would leave the region and the world at continued risk.

The Kotel and its surrounding prayer spaces belong to the entirety of the Jewish people.
