Senator-elect Marco Rubio (R-FL) is headed to Israel following his impressive victory in last night’s election. Rubio is said to be arriving in the country on Sunday.

First they took Washington, now they’ll take Jerusalem? With victory in the congressional elections less than a day old, Florida Senator Marco Rubio (Rep.) who considers himself a ‘Tea Party’ member, is set to arrive in Israel on Sunday. Rubio’s visit so soon after the election win is a move that strengthens assessments that the congress in its current form will continue where it left off – at least where Israel is concerned.

There was more good news for supporters of Israel last night, as well.

Pennsylvania voters opted to send the pro-Israeli Pat Toomey to the United States Senate over Democratic opponent Joe Sestak, who had signed a controversial letter condemning Israel for attempting to defend itself. Sestak had also keynoted a fundraiser for the Council on American Islamic Relations — an unindicated co-conspirator in the Holy Land Foundation terrorism fundraising case.

And now that Republicans have regained the majority in the House of Representatives, Representative Eric Cantor (R-VA) is expected to become the House Majority Leader. The only higher-ranking individual in the House will be Representative John Boehner (R-OH) — another staunch supporter of Israel.
