Side by Side in Support of Israel

Earlier this month, the IAC Summit 2026 - the largest pro-Israel annual gathering in the United States - took place in Miami, Florida, bringing together thousands of world-class speakers, innovators, creators, and passionate Israel supporters.

This year, Maccabi World Union and Maccabi USA proudly took part in the event,  presenting Maccabi’s global activity and the Maccabiah Games to a vast audience from across the Jewish world.

“Participating in the IAC Summit alongside Maccabi USA was an important opportunity to address the challenges currently facing the Jewish people and the State of Israel", said Roy Hessing, CEO of Maccabi World Union. "Showing up together for Israel matters now more than ever. This successful partnership in North America was clearly felt, with our presence standing out and generating meaningful awareness for the upcoming Maccabiah Games this summer.”

Over three unforgettable days filled with inspiration, energy, pride, and celebration, participants connected, exchanged ideas, and experienced the true spirit of Israel in all its diversity and strength.

The program featured meaningful sessions and panel discussions, alongside a special gala evening that highlighted unity, resilience, and shared purpose.

We were honored to be part of a gathering that united so many organizations and initiatives, all working together in support of Israel - strengthening collaboration, solidarity, and our collective impact!
