2018 NY Senate race: on Foreign Policy


Chele Farley: Pro-Israel; challenge mistakes like Iran nuclear deal

She supports a pro-Israel foreign policy that challenges "mistakes" such as the nuclear deal with Iran that was recently nullified by President Trump. Gillibrand voted for the Iranian agreement, she said, while noting the significance of the vote against the deal by Minority Leader Charles E. Schumer, the state's other Democratic senator. And after returning from a visit to Israel she believes Trump is successfully recalibrating the U.S. relationship by recognizing Jerusalem as its capital.

Kirsten Gillibrand: Opposes boycotts of businesses in Israel

Gillibrand criticized the call from the UN Human Rights Council's special rapporteur for a boycott of companies in settlements (and called for his removal), criticized a food-labeling measure by the EU that mandated that products made in the settlements be labeled as such, and worked with Schumer to rebuke the UN Security Council's condemnation of the settlements early this year.
