Congressman Brad Wenstrup (R-OH) is traveling to Israel this week to better assess some of America’s pressing foreign policy challenges.

In September, Congress is set to consider a possible deal regarding Iran’s nuclear capabilities, a deal Wenstrup opposes. The educational trip will provide a breadth of perspectives surrounding the ongoing instability in the region.

“At such a perilous time, when Israel is threatened by ISIL and Iran, it is critical to stand with our ally. I welcome this opportunity to learn about the situation first-hand,” Wenstrup, a member of the Armed Services and Intelligence Committees, said before departing.

Meetings and sessions will include conversations with Israeli and Palestinian officials, military leaders and peace negotiators, as well as visits around the country.

Rep. Brad Wenstrup was elected in 2012 to represent the people of Ohio’s Second Congressional District in the United States House of Representatives. He brings experience as a doctor, Army Reserve officer, Iraq War veteran, and small business owner to help Congress tackle the economic and security challenges facing the nation. He has served in the U.S. Army Reserve since 1998, currently holding the rank of Lieutenant Colonel.  In 2005-06, he served a tour in Iraq as a combat surgeon, and was awarded a Bronze Star and Combat Action Badge for his service.  During his time in Congress, Brad is fulfilling his Reserve duties by treating patients at Walter Reed National Military Medical Center in Bethesda.
