Wasserman Schultz Statement on Bipartisan Resolution Supporting Israel

Washington, DC – U.S. Rep. Debbie Wasserman Schultz (FL-23) issued the following statement after H. Res. 11 passed the House of Representatives. Rep. Wasserman Schultz was an original co-sponsor of the resolution.

“I voted for and cosponsored tonight’s resolution to reaffirm our unbreakable commitment to Israel, our most true and dependable Middle East ally. This resolution rightly acknowledges the United States’ longstanding policy that direct, bilateral negotiations are the only viable method for achieving peace, and that our country must reject any attempt to internationalize the peace process. We cannot allow Israel’s enemies to use international organizations like the UN to undermine and attack it. Instead, we must continue to support Israel by building on the historic Memorandum of Understanding regarding security assistance and standing shoulder to shoulder with Israel as we undertake the difficult task of obtaining a long and lasting peace.”
