A report from The Associated Press 08/03/03
On Sunday, delegation of 29 Democratic members of the U.S. House of Representatives will arrive in Israel, with the compliments of AIPAC. They will meet with senior Israeli and Palestinian officials, a spokesman for American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) said.
The American-Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC) is the main pro-Israel lobby group in the United States. It frequently sponsors visits to Israel for leading figures in American public life.
David Kreizelman of AIPAC said the 29 US congressmen headed by Democratic whip Steny Hoyer of Maryland, would meet with Prime Minister Ariel Sharon, Foreign Minister Silvan Shalom and Palestinian Prime Minister Mahmoud Abbas.
Kreizelman said the goal of the trip was to give the U.S. lawmakers first-hand knowledge of the U.S.-Israel relationship, the prospects for peace in the Middle East and economic and political trends in Israel.
He said that the congressmen would stay in Israel until the end of the week.
