Texas governor receives Friend of Zion award for support, advocacy

Texas Governor Greg Abbott just received the “Friends of Zion” award in Israel, for his outstanding support and friendship of the Jewish state and of the Jewish people. “Anybody who is an enemy of Israel is an enemy of Texas,” Governor Abbott proudly said. Find one relevant Democrat who would make that statement. You wouldn’t be able to, because there aren’t any! #Jexodus!

It’s a tremendous honor to receive the Friends of Zion Award.

This award recognizes global leaders who have supported the nation of Israel & Jewish people.

Together, we will continue to build an even stronger friendship between Israel, the Jewish community & the state of Texas. pic.twitter.com/pmXdLYnu4G

Cecilia and I laid a wreath in remembrance of the Holocaust victims at the Yad Vashem Museum in Jerusalem.

Texas will always remember and pray for the victims of this horrific time in human history.

We must work to ensure it never happens again.

Texas governor receives Friend of Zion award for support, advocacy

The award by the Friends of Zion Heritage Center is given to world leaders for exemplary support of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

By Jerusalem Post, January 21, 2019:

Governor of Texas Greg Abbott received the Friends of Zion award on a recent visit to Jerusalem. The award by the Friends of Zion Heritage Center is given to world leaders for exemplary support of the State of Israel and the Jewish people.

Abbott has served as the governor of Texas since January 2015.

“There are strong relations between Texas and Israel. Anybody who is an enemy of Israel is an enemy of Texas. Whenever anybody threatens Israel, we come side by side with Israel to support Israel in any way we can,” said Abbott at the ceremony.

An anti-boycott law was signed by Abbott on Israel’s Independence Day in 2017 to limit groups from divesting and sanctioning Israel. Texas was the 18th state to condemn and officially stand against the Boycott, Divest and Sanctions (BDS) movement.

Abbott has visited Israel twice since taking office to discuss economic trade missions and has advocated for Israel on social media.

Other leaders who have received the Friends of Zion award include US Presidents George W. Bush and Donald Trump.
