Lawmakers Paid Trips to Israel
Description
Over $4.2 million has been spent on lavish, politically charged trips to Israel for lawmakers—including 26 Democrats and 52 Republicans—funded by the pro-Israel group AIEF, linked to AIPAC. These aren’t vacations: they include one-sided briefings, meetings with Israeli officials, and visits to West Bank settlements, even as public support for Israel’s policies, especially among Democrats, plummets. Lawmakers brought families, with per-person costs exceeding $44,000, and trips resumed in March 2024 despite mounting global scrutiny of Gaza. This underscores the enduring influence of pro-Israel lobbying in Washington, even as political winds shift.
