The Hakeem Jeffries moment is great for the Jews - opinion
This is a man who cares deeply about the Jewish community, about America’s relationship with Israel, and about taking on antisemitism.
Eleven years ago, after leaving the Obama administration, Rep. Hakeem Jeffries defended the Iran nuclear deal at a Jewish community center in Brooklyn. Despite the vitriol and anger from the crowd, he maintained a calm demeanor and engaged with constituents empathetically. Jeffries, now the presumptive speaker of the House, exemplified statesmanship and leadership skills during a highly contentious debate over the complex policy decision.
His ability to respect constituents, speak thoughtfully, and remain composed under pressure demonstrated tremendous leadership qualities. I believe Jeffries will be a great leader on issues related to Israel and antisemitism, reassuring all Jewish Americans of his commitment to these matters.
