Toomey Issues Statement Regarding Israel?s Decision To Maintain Presence In Philadelphia [press_release] | 2013-12-18 | 2013 | 2013-12 | Republican | House | PA | Patrick Toomey | T000461 | toomey.senate.gov | legacy | WASHINGTON, D.C. - Today, U.S. Senator Pat Toomey (R-Pa.) issued the following statement in response to the news that the Israeli consulate located in Philadelphia will remain open. Sen. Toomey sent a letter to Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu in November upon learning that the consulate may be closed. "I applaud Israel's decision to keep its consulate in Philadelphia open and I thank Prime Minster Netanyahu for his consideration," said Sen. Toomey. "Given Southeastern Pennsylvania's large population with personal and business ties to Israel, the consulate has long played an integral part in developing important business, artistic, and political connections between the United States and Israel. I am confident that Israel's renewed commitment to Philadelphia will sustain and grow these relationships." | 1 | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z | 2026-03-30T12:14:52Z |
