Latino Leaders Declare Readiness to Engage Foreign Policy Issues

“American Latino leaders who traveled to Israel on a Project Interchange seminar last month have joined in a statement declaring their commitment to engage in U.S. foreign policy in support of Israel.

“We returned from Israel strengthened in the conviction that the growing relationship between the Latino and Jewish communities in both domestic and international affairs holds great promise for both sides,” says the statement. “We believe that Latinos and Jews can jointly contribute to the shaping of U.S. foreign policy.”

The statement is believed to be the first time a group of Latino leaders have spoken out on international issues. The Latino leaders in their statement “affirm the right of the state of Israel to exist in peace within secure borders. “We will encourage support among our communities and fellow Hispanic leaders for peaceful coexistence and a two-state solution to the Palestinian-Israeli conflict.””
