250 American Lawmakers Attend ‘50 States One Israel’ Conference in Jerusalem
The delegation aimed to promote anti-Boycott Divestment and Sanctions legislation amid Israel's concerns of global isolation during escalating conflict in Gaza.
From September 14 to 18, 2025, 250 American state legislators from all 50 states visited Israel for the '50 States, One Israel' conference in Jerusalem.
The Israeli government sponsored the trip amid escalating conflict in Gaza and international criticism accusing Israel of genocide in the territory.
During the visit, lawmakers met Israeli leaders including Prime Minister Netanyahu and Foreign Minister Sa’ar, toured conflict areas, and discussed Israel's security and social realities.
Netanyahu accused China and Qatar of undermining Israel, while Sa’ar said lawmakers’ presence was vital against coordinated efforts to eliminate Israel, calling it a ‘‘sea of fake information.’’
The delegation sparked bipartisan backlash in the US, with social media users condemning the trip during ongoing violence and humanitarian crisis in Gaza, signaling continued political tensions.
