The sixth annual Israeli American Council Gala was held at the Los Angeles Beverly Hilton Hotel on March 9.

"I can assure you that the prime minister of Israel is not going to allow Iran's regime to develop nuclear weapons," said Israeli Ambassador to the United States Ron Dermer in his speech as the event's distinguished guest.

The Los Angeles-based IAC, which serves hundreds of thousands of Israelis living in the U.S., was established in 2007 to strengthen the Israeli-American community and the State of Israel.

Starting as a small organization in Los Angeles, the IAC has expanded to the national level and is establishing branches in major cities across the U.S.

Dr. Miriam and Sheldon Adelson were among the attendees at the event. Sheldon Adelson, an enthusiastic supporter of the organization, said he understood the power and energy of the Israeli community in the U.S. and its tremendous potential to help strengthen pro-Israel forces in the United States.

The Adelson family owns the company that is the primary shareholder in Israel Hayom.
