2018 NJ Senate race: on Foreign Policy


Bob Hugin: Supports Israel and recognizes Jerusalem as its capital

Bob considers Israel among our most valued allies and supports officially recognizing Jerusalem as the undivided capital of Israel, as well as the Administration's recent decision to relocate the United States Embassy to the city. He supports a continued Israeli-Palestinian peace process that results in a 2-state solution where the Palestinians recognize Israel's right to exist. Bob considers Israel a beacon of democracy and innovation in the Middle East and throughout the world.

Rich Pezzullo: As our ally, we must support Israel's right to defend itself

Israel is America's closest ally in the Middle East and one of its closest allies and friends in the entire world. Not only do we share strategic goals, but also a belief in democracy, human rights and the rule of law. The United States must be a vocal supporter of Israel's right to defend itself against terrorist violence and should not pressure Israel to enter into peace agreements or concessions that threaten Israel's ability to defend itself.
