A pair of upcoming trips to Israel by the top House Republican and Democrat come at a crucial time for U.S.-Israel relations, Middle East experts say, as the Jewish State continues to be rocked by rocket fire from terror groups and domestic turmoil – and international pushback – due to proposed judicial reforms.

House Speaker Kevin McCarthy, R-Calif., and House Minority Leader Hakeem Jeffries, D-N.Y., both of whom have been in their current roles for only a matter of months, are expected to visit Israel on separate occasions later this month.
