When I worked with the Israeli Defense Forces, I saw the aggressive threats from adversaries firsthand. Our support for Israel is critical during times of global uncertainty and continued aggression by adversaries. Today, the House of Representatives passed a resolution expressing support for the State of Israel and rejecting all forms of antisemitism.
Check out my speech on the House floor in support of the resolution here ⬇️
As we welcome Israeli President Isaac Herzog to Congress tomorrow, we must reject antisemitism in all forms and stand with Israel against these threats:
- I lead legislation to condemn acts of terror by Iranian military proxies,such as Hamas, Hezbollah, and the Palestinian Islamic Jihad.
- The House of Representatives passed legislation earlier this year to strengthen and expand the Abraham Accords.
- The official representative of the State of Israel to the State of Iowa, Israel General Consul Yinam Cohen, recently stopped by our office to discuss strengthening our partnership.
Bottom Line: I will never waver on my support for the state of Israel.
