Mark Levenson, President; Shoshana Dweck, National Board Chair; and Herbert Block, Executive Director, of the American Zionist Movement (AZM) issued the following statement:
February 28, 2026 — AZM expresses profound appreciation and gratitude for the close cooperation between President Trump, Prime Minister Netanyahu, and the entire leadership of the United States and Israel for the operations launched in Iran. Additionally, we commend the heroic efforts of the brave American and Israeli troops who are continuing to carry out this important endeavor. We pray for the safety of each and every one of them. We also pray for the continued safety of all innocent people now under fire in Israel and across the Middle East.
The Iranian regime under Ali Khameini’s direction oppressed its own people and destabilized the Middle East for decades through its violent proxies. It was also responsible for attacks on Jews worldwide. We marvel at the opportunities presented by this generational change and hope for as peaceful and quick resolution as possible, allowing for a safe conclusion to the current military operation. We are hopeful for the future of a changed and more peaceful Mideast with radically less strife and terror.
