Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) released the following statement: “Those who seek to destroy the state of Israel like Hamas and Islamic Jihad are intentionally using terrorist attacks to sow instability. No nation or people should be subject to a barrage of rocket fire or have to endure this kind of bloody assault. The world is seeing firsthand the Iron Dome in action. As a senior appropriator, I plan to make sure these missile defense systems continue to get the support they need. I am extremely concerned by those who demonize Israel’s conduct while ignoring their right to self-defense and obligation to protect all its citizens. I pray for peace and security in the region and urge the cessation of intentional acts of violence and a return to working towards a viable, two-state solution.” |
