On the House side, they will host Knesset members who wish to travel to the United States and do the same.<\/p>\n<h3>Why is this important?<\/h3>\n<p>McCarthy became the first House speaker since Newt Gingrich in 1998 to address the Knesset. In his speech, he touted the <a href=\"https:\/\/www.conservativenewsdaily.net\/breaking-news\/tim-allen-sends-farewell-message-as-last-man-standing-closes\/\" title=\"Tim Allen Sends Farewell Message As \u2018Last Man Standing\u2019 Closes\">close bond<\/a> between the United States and Israel, which is marking its 75th anniversary as a nation. \u201cThe United States cherishes our unbreakable bond with Israel. I\u2019m proud that my country recognized your country only 11 minutes after it declared its independence, the first country to do so,\u201d he said. \u201cBut our special relationship is even closer, more personal, and more powerful than we might realize.<\/p>\n<p>McCarthy also warned about the threat from China. \u201cToday, however, our innovation is at risk from a new threat: the Chinese Communist Party,\u201d he said. \u201cWhile the CCP may disguise itself as promoters of innovation, in truth, they act like thieves. We must not allow them to steal our technology.\u201d<\/p>\n<h3>What else did McCarthy say?<\/h3>\n<p>McCarthy lauded Israel, like the United States, as having a process to review foreign investments. \u201cI strongly encourage Israel to further strengthen its oversight of foreign investment\u2014particularly Chinese investment\u2014building on the steps it first took in 2019,\u201d he said. McCarthy also rejected the Boycott, Divestment, and Sanctions movement.<\/p>\n<h3>Join the House-Knesset Parliamentary Friendship Group<\/h3>\n<p>If you\u2019re interested in joining the House-Knesset Parliamentary Friendship Group, please contact your representative or visit the official website for more information.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Representatives and the Knesset.
