The American Hellenic Institute has partnered with Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ), Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY), Rep. Thomas Kean Jr. (R-NJ), and Rep. Keith Self (R-TX) to initiate four pieces of legislation for the National Defense Authorization Act of 2026. These amendments would provide support for the “3+1” multilateral structure between the United States, Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, and Israel, and would hold Turkey accountable for actions taken against U.S. interests, including the occupation of the Republic of Cyprus.

The American Hellenic Institute (AHI) has released updated 2025 fact sheets on the U.S. strategic partnerships with Greece and the Republic of Cyprus, underscoring the expanding defense, diplomatic, and economic ties between the U.S. and its key Eastern Mediterranean allies.

On Monday, March 31, 2025, Rep. Nicole Malliotakis (R-NY) introduced H.R.2150: The American-Hellenic-Israeli Eastern Mediterranean Counterterrorism & Maritime Security Partnership Act of 2025, which was co-led by Rep. Thomas H. Kean Jr. (R-NJ), Rep. Dan Goldman (D-NY), and Rep. Josh Gottheimer (D-NJ). This bipartisan bill, initiated by the American Hellenic Institute, would be the third piece of legislation to support the “3+1” partnership between Greece, the Republic of Cyprus, Israel, and the United States.
