Israel Allies Foundation
Pro-israel zionist foundation
The Israel Allies Foundation (IAF, also known as the International Israel Allies Caucus Foundation) is a pro-Israel advocacy group that promotes their views with legislators. IAF works with politicians internationally to mobilize support for its values. One of its main goals is keeping Jerusalem fully under Israeli sovereignty.
Parliamentary groups affiliated with the IAF include the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus in the United States House of Representatives, the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus in the Israeli parliament, and similar groups in Uruguay, the Philippines, South Korea, Brazil, South Africa, Japan, Australia, Finland, Italy, Canada, Costa Rica, and Malawi. As of 2021, IAF supported 50 pro-Israel parliamentary groups worldwide.
IAF takes politicians and heads of pro-Israel organizations on paid-for tours of Israel.
History
In January 2004, the Knesset Christian Allies Caucus (KCAC) was founded by Israeli politician Yuri Stern of the Yisrael Beiteinu party and seven other Israeli politicians. The goal of the organization was to harness support for Israel from Christian leaders around the world. Its first sister caucus, the Congressional Israel Allies Caucus, was established in the United States Congress in 2006.
This led to the creation of IAF in 2007 by orthodox rabbi Benny Elon (president) and his long-time aide and parliamentary assistant Uri Bank, both leaders of the Israeli right to far-right party Moledet (Elon became leader in 2001 after his predecessor was assassinated).
