Congressional Israel Allies Caucus

The Congressional Israel Allies Caucus is a caucus within the US House of Representatives. In 2006 the group formed as the first reciprocal caucus to the Christian Allies Caucus in the Israeli Knesset called the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus (CIAC). The Caucus is bipartisan and led by two Democrat Co-Chairs, co-founder Rep. Eliot Engel[1] and Rep. Brad Sherman,[2] and two Republican Co-Chairs, co-founder Rep. Trent Franks[3] and Rep. Doug Lamborn.[4] During his time as a Representative, Vice President Mike Pence also served as a CIAC Co-Chair.
