Georgia’s new Republican senator David Perdue took his first foreign trip as a member of Congress to Israel. Perdue, the former CEO of Reebok and Dollar General, met with Benjamin Netanyahu and appeared in a video statement with the Israeli prime minister. The Republican said he made his first trip as a sitting senator to Israel to make a statement about his personal support for the Jewish state, and thanked Netanyahu for his “hospitality.”
“I share your concern about Iran. In my opinion, the most dangerous thing to mankind’s future is a nuclear Iran,” Perdue said, adding that he is “very much looking forward to” Netanyahu’s upcoming address to Congress in March.
