AUSTIN (WBAP/KLIF) – The Texas Association of Business said on Monday that it stands in support of Israel following the deadly attacks by Hamas.
“TAB stands with Israel,” said he Chairman of the Texas Association of Business, Massey Villarreal. “In the strongest possible terms, we condemn the murderous terrorist attacks against the people of Israel. Israel is a close friend and ally of the U.S. and the great state of Texas.”
According to the TAB, the economic ties between the US and Israel are strong. In fact, the first free trade agreement in the history of the US was signed between Israel and the U.S. Texas fortified its strong commercial relationship with Israel by passing strong anti-BDS legislation.
“We are proud that our economic relationship also impacts Israel’s security given that the F35 Joint-Strike Fighter is produced in Ft. Worth Texas,” said Villareal. “The two Lone Star states share common values and need to do more economically together.”
The largest gathering of Israeli and American business leaders took place this year at the Israeli American Council National Summit in Austin in which TAB leadership participated in the opening events.
