Bill Summary
The State of Israel is a sovereign country and Israeli-Americans have enriched the quality of life of New Jerseyans as well as Americans in general. The special relationship between the United States and Israel is rooted in shared national security interests and shared values of democracy, human rights, and the rule of law. The strong bond between the State of New Jersey and Israel is represented by cultural, economic, academic, and research and development exchanges that contribute materially to all New Jerseyans. This special bond was recognized in 1989 with the creation of the New Jersey-Israel Commission, whose mission it is to further and foster economic, scientific, educational, and cultural ties with Israel. New Jersey is a leading destination for Israeli companies seeking to establish operations in the United States, leading to local investment in manufacturing facilities that create jobs for New Jerseyans and helping to drive the technological advancement of our State. The United States is a nation of immigrants, and Israeli-Americans contribute invaluable innovations and skills that enhance our quality of life and promote the economic prosperity of our State and country.
