New York, March 2025
In a spirited display of bipartisan advocacy, columnist and American-Israel advocate Irit Tratt, co-chair of the Trump47 National Women’s Leadership Coalition, hosted Congressman Michael Lawler this evening in New York. Taking to her social media, Tratt expressed her honor in having the opportunity to discuss the robust US-Israel relationship and the concrete measures being advanced by the GOP-led Congress to combat antisemitism on campuses and in cities nationwide.
“Rep. Lawler has been a tremendous friend to the Jewish community, and it’s critical that our efforts be geared toward preserving and expanding the Republican majority in the House!” Tratt tweeted, underscoring the importance of bolstering political support that she believes is pivotal for furthering effective policy measures, particularly those related to protecting the Jewish community from rising antisemitic incidents.
The discussion, which took place in an intimate setting, focused on the substantive steps being taken by lawmakers to ensure that the US-Israel relationship remains strong amid current global challenges. Topics ranged from diplomatic initiatives to legislative proposals aimed at confronting hate crimes and discriminatory practices that have seen a worrying rise on college campuses and urban centers.
Tratt’s post, accompanied by the hashtags #GOP, #antisemitism, and #NewYork, reflects a growing sentiment among pro-Israel advocates that a strong, unified Republican presence in Congress is essential for safeguarding not only American interests but also for reinforcing international alliances with Israel.
As debates continue in Washington over the best approaches to address hate and antisemitism, this evening’s gathering highlights a crucial moment of cross-community engagement, with leaders from different backgrounds coming together to advocate for a safer and more inclusive future.
