Israel Consulate Official Speaks at Capitol

State Rep. Mike Ritze joined other legislators in welcoming an official of the Consulate General of Israel to the Southwest recently.

Ben Stinsman, a native Texan and the cultural affairs officer at the Israeli consulate, spoke in the House Chamber Thursday, April 9.

Ritze, R-Broken Arrow, said he was pleased to welcome Stinsman.

“Oklahoma has a tradition of economic partnership and many other ties with Israel,” Ritze said. “The cultural officer who came to speak to the chamber is a University of Oklahoma graduate and a very passionate friend of Israel. I would love to see him here again in the future.”
