The annual conference held each year by the pro-Israel lobby AIPAC is attended by thousands of pro-Israel supporters and often draws high-profile speakers such as ambassadors and often Israeli prime ministers. Throughout Dermer's speech, he stressed that U.S.-Israel relations are closer than ever and highlighted the common goals of both countries for the Middle East.
