Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-N.Y.) participated last week in a bipartisan delegation of U.S. Congressmembers to Israel and Qatar.

This trip included meetings with Israeli Prime Minister Naftali Bennett, Defense Minister Benny Gantz and Foreign Minister Yair Lapid; and Palestinian Authority President Mahmoud Abbas.
