King Introduces Resolution in Support of the Defense of Israel

"Israel is a strong ally and loyal friend of the United States," said King. "When Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu came before Congress earlier this year he made a powerful case to us, America and the rest of the world about how the Iran Nuclear deal puts Israel's very survival at stake. He said that the people of Israel are finished standing by passively while the threats to their livelihood and country continue.

The Iran Nuclear deal is one of the most dangerous deals of our time. It starts the nuclear arms race in the Middle East. For this reason, I am introducing a resolution to express the sense of the House of Representatives that the State of Israel has the right to defend itself against Iranian hostility and that the House of Representatives pledges to support Israel in its efforts to maintain its sovereignty and national security.

We, the United States, must stand with Israel every step of the way. I encourage all my colleagues to support this legislation and bring this resolution to the House floor for a vote. A vote for H.Res. 500 is a vote for the support of Israel."
