Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu met at his office in Jerusalem on Thursday with a visiting US congressional delegation led by Rep. Alcee L. Hastings (D-FL), who also heads the US Helsinki Commission.

“I do want to thank you for your consistent support, broad-based support — very important for us,” Netanyahu said. “The bipartisan support for Israel is a mainstay of our national security. It is not something that we just say pro forma. It is deep and abiding.”
