Education Minister and Jewish Home Party Chairman Rabbi Rafi Peretz met this morning with heads of AIPAC, President Dr. Mort Friedman, CEO Howard Corr, and AIPAC Israel CEO Dr. Cameron Brown.

Peretz said: "I was pleased to meet Zionist Jews and Israel lovers. We discussed developments in the Middle East and Israel-Diaspora relations. For me, the State of Israel's relationship with Diaspora Jewry is a bond between brothers, and we need to do everything possible to strengthen our relationship."
