BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT
Mr. KUSTOFF. Mr. Speaker, I rise today to speak in favor of this critical resolution to condemn Hamas' brutal attack on Israel and reiterate our Nation's support, our strong support, for our greatest ally in the Middle East--Israel.
We all know that Hamas' heinous and unprovoked attack on innocent Israelis is barbaric. It is our responsibility as Members of Congress to stand united with Israel.
Let me be clear: Israel has a fundamental right to defend herself and her people during this war.
I am honored to be chairman of the bipartisan House-Knesset Parliamentary Friendship Group. From both sides of the aisle, our members' support for the only democracy in the Middle East is absolutely ironclad.
This resolution demonstrates our unwavering commitment to Israel and our relationship. It is important for our Nation and the rest of the world to hear this strong support and commitment from the United States' House of Representatives.
Mr. Speaker, I thank Chairman McCaul and Ranking Member Meeks for their leadership.
