U.S. Representative Mimi Walters (CA-45) released the following statement regarding her steadfast support for the State of Israel:

"This week, it has been an honor and privilege to visit Israel and be immersed in the country's rich history," said Rep. Mimi Walters. "As a part of our travels, my colleagues and I toured an Iron Dome battery, which is an integral part of Israel's military defense system. Iron Dome works to detect and intercept incoming rockets and has proven to be a successful and highly effective form of defense. In the summer of 2014, when nearly 4,500 rockets were launched against Israel, Iron Dome successfully intercepted approximately 90 percent of the rockets it engaged. At a time of great instability in the Middle East --Iron Dome is more vital than ever in ensuring Israel's safety and security. I stand with Israel in my support of Iron Dome, and will always support Israel's right to defend itself."
