The United States Stands with Israel
I condemn the Hamas terrorist attack on Israel and stand in support of Israel as it responds to this terrorism. Israel’s right to exist and its right to defend itself is not a matter of debate.

There is no doubt that Iran’s support was instrumental in this barbaric act. Hamas thanked Tehran for the funding and weapons that Iran has provided for many years. Iran must be held accountable for its pursuit of destroying Israel. Supporting Israel means the U.S. must be prepared to deter our enemies and those of our allies. The U.S. also must enforce the sanctions already in law on Iran and any nation that backs terrorist organizations in Israel and around the region.
