Mr. SIMPSON. Mr. Speaker, I rise in support of H.R. 7217, the Israel Security Supplemental Appropriations Act. As tensions grow in the Middle East, the state of affairs is becoming increasingly dangerous for the Israeli people and United States servicemembers. Israel is our strongest ally in the Middle East, and the Israeli people are still recovering from the horrific October 7th terrorist attacks. This standalone Israel supplemental package ensures our great ally has the resources and tools they need to defeat Hamas, as well as provide important funding for our military forces in the region to deter terrorists and other enemies. The United States must send a clear message to the rest of the world--that we will continue to stand with Israel. I proudly support that message and will vote yes on this legislation. I encourage my colleagues to stand with our great ally Israel, and vote yes on this bill.
