Rep. Zeldin Statement on New Anti-Israel Resolution by "Squad" Members

Press Release

Congressman Lee Zeldin (R, NY-1), member of the House Foreign Affairs Committee, co-chair of the House Republican Israel Caucus and one of two Jewish Republicans in Congress, just issued the following statement after far-left members of the "Squad" introduced a new anti-Israel resolution in the House of Representatives. The resolution introduced yesterday calls for U.S. recognition of the term "Nakba", which is used to describe the creation of the state of Israel as a "catastrophe".

"This resolution is just the latest in a long line of antisemitic, anti-Israel statements, policies and actions by the most radical voices in the Democratic Party. Whether it's supporting the antisemitic Boycott, Divestment and Sanctions (BDS) movement against Israel, falsely accusing Israel of war crimes, or suggesting that support for Israel by members of Congress is "all about the Benjamins', this group on the far-left never misses an opportunity to dangerously promote antisemitic and anti-Israel sentiments and agendas.

"What's even more disturbing is the unwillingness of Nancy Pelosi and House Democratic leadership to condemn this vile behavior. Israel is our nation's strongest ally, the only functioning democracy in the Middle East, and the victim of repeated attacks and threats of destruction from its hostile neighbors."
