The Israel Allies Foundation (IAF, also known as the International Israel Allies Caucus Foundation) educates and empowers an international network of pro-Israel legislators. IAF works with politicians around the world to mobilize support for Israel based Jewish 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 his longtime aide and parliamentary assistant Uri Bank, both leaders of the Israeli far-right party Moledet. Elon, a well-known figure in the radical settler movement, favored annexing the occupied territories and "voluntary" transfer of the Palestinians to Jordan. He served as Tourism Minister in two stints from 2001 to 2004 and used his position to foment ties with the American evangelical Christian community. Elon, 62, died of cancer in 2017 and Josh Reinstein took over as president of IAF. Organization As of 2019, the organization's Christian advisory board of directors includes Tim Dunn (chairman), Dave Weldon, Mike Sodrel, Dick Saulsbury, Earl Cox, and Trent Franks. IAF has established parliamentary groups consisting of strongly pro-Israel politicians in many countries. In the U.S. and some other countries, such groups are known as caucuses.
