Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance

Endy Zemenides and Sinan Ciddi join Thanos Davelis to break down the significance of both the relaunch of the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance caucus and Washington's latest efforts to crack down on the Turkey-Hamas nexus.

Six years ago, the American Jewish Committee (AJC) and the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC) joined forces in support of the efforts of congressmen Gus Bilirakis (R-FL) and Ted Deutch (D-FL) as they formed the Congressional Hellenic Israel Alliance (CHIA) caucus.

The Greek-American and American Jewish communities have joined forces to promote legislation in the United States that would bolster the security status of Cyprus and block the sale of F-35 fighter jets to Turkey, the executive director of the Hellenic American Leadership Council (HALC), Endy Zemenides, said in an interview with Kathimerini newspaper.
