WITH IMPORTANT mid-term elections rightaround the corner, theWashington Report againpresents its Report Cardfor members of the cur-rent Congress.* Issueswere subjectively chosento demonstrate congres-sional support for, or harmto, U.S. national interestsin the Middle East.In 2015, Israeli Prime

Minister Binyamin Ne-tanyahu, in an address toCongress, blatantly at-tacked then-PresidentBarack Obama with an all-out effort to scuttle theIran nuclear negotiationsthen under way. Sincethen, U.S.-Israel and U.S.-Iran relations have be-come strongly partisan is-sues. Consequently, allmembers of this current “Hall of Fame” are Democrats, andmost members of the “Hall of Shame” are Republicans.For the House, five positive and five negative issues were

chosen. Ten members registered in all five positive columnswith no negative mark, and they are shown in the “Hall ofFame.” The “Hall of Shame” lists the 17 House members whoregistered in all five negative columns with no positive mark.For the Senate, five positive and four negative issues were

chosen. Eight senators registered in four or five positivecolumns with no negative mark, and they are shown in the“Hall of Fame.” The “Hall of Shame” lists those 11 senatorswho registered in all four negative columns with no more thanone positive mark.

ing Jerusalem as the capital of Israel, including two express-ing disapproval of the U.N.
