“The Saudi government must be forced to pull their F15’s from the Tabuk airforce base deployed only 150 km. from Israel,” said Religious Zionists of America President, Rabbi Simcha Krauss. “The Saudi’s had given their word to the United States and indirectly to the Israelis that these planes would not be permanently stationed facing Israel,” added Rabbi Krauss.
“The news that Al Queda recruited a Saudi pilot for a suicide mission against Israel makes this problem extremely acute,” said Mandell I. Ganchrow, M.D., Executive Vice President of the RZA. “Our country must pressure the Saudis to carry out their obligation to the United States, when they received these planes, and redeploy them, so as not to pose a danger to Israel.”
Religious Zionists of America (RZA), a national organization with branches throughout the country, was founded in 1912 as the American arm of the World Mizrachi Movement. Besides providing support to its partner institutions in Israel, including yeshivot hesder and religious kibbutzim, RZA furthers the ideology of religious Zionism in the United States through its affiliates, Bnei Akiva, the Camp Moshava network of summer camps, and the Torah MiTzion Diaspora Zionist Kollel project. It is a proud member of the Conference of Presidents of Major American Jewish Organizations.
