2020 GA Senate race: on Foreign Policy
Jon Ossoff:
Supports Israel, continuing U.S. military aid
He's a supporter of J Street, the liberal pro-Israel group. They supported him too: During his 2017 campaign for House of Representatives, J-Street's political action committee donated tens of thousands of dollars into his campaign.
Foreign policy hasn't been a major issue in his races, but he's spoken to J Street's Atlanta chapter. Ossoff has stated that he's a supporter of Israel and continued U.S. military aid to the Jewish state.

Shane Hazel:
US in 150 countries is for international aristocrats
Key messages:- #EndTheWars - It is long past time to bring the men & women in service home. Undeclared unconstitutional never ending war is used to enslave Americans through debt and taxation. 20 years of war is enough death & destruction for a lif
time. It is time for Peace.
- #EndTheFed - Both democrats & republicans have enslaved every American for generations to come thru a $23,000,000,000,000 debt owed to a faceless, unaccountable international banking cabal that is growing at over
$1 Trillion a year. It is time for Free Markets
- #EndTheEmpire - The bureaucratic DC cabal is deployed in 150 countries around the world, for the interests of international aristocrats, not Americans, and
they need to be exposed and removed. Wars, Taxes, Policies, "Laws", Permits, Debt are all out of control and must be abolished. It is time for Liberty.

Teresa Tomlinson:
My support for Israel is unshakable
My support for Israel is unshakable in the following respects:- Israel's right to exist.
- A sustainable two-state solution.
- Funding aid in support of Israel's security.
- Continued strategic partnerships between Israel and the United States.
- The special relationship between the US and Israel must be supported and strengthened.
- I am committed to substantial US security assistance to Israel, currently set in the amount of $3.3 billion per year.
-
I will support continued funding levels for missile and rocket defense programs, including the Iron Dome and David's Sling.
- The BDS movement is counter-productive to the
Mid-East peace process, and does not facilitate a two-state solution, accordingly, I oppose the BDS movement.

David Perdue:
Defends Trump on Putin; must engage with Russia
On Russia policy: "I think President Trump has done a great job in going over and meeting with Putin," said Perdue, one of the president's biggest
boosters. "What he says coming out of that [the press conference], I think, is minor news relative to the bigger picture, and that is we are re-engaging with someone in the world that can be very dangerous and we have to engage with them."

David Perdue:
National debt impacts our foreign policy
America's foreign policy has depended on three precepts: development, diplomacy and defense. The debt jeopardize our ability to fund them. I've traveled around the world to meet with our troops, foreign leaders and diplomats, so I've seen the impact the
debt is having on America's ability to lead globally. When Defense Secretary James Mattis said, "if you don't fund the State Department fully, then I need to buy more ammunition," he summed up how the debt is impacting our entire foreign policy.

David Perdue:
US should provide aid to encourage development
On foreign aid: "As we work to combat a myriad of threats around the world, we must continue America's role as a global humanitarian leader," said
Perdue. "After years of failed policies and weak leadership abroad, there is still much work to do to reengage with the rest of the world and encourage development. A great place to start is with improving the effectiveness of foreign assistance."
