U.S. lawmakers have recently emphasized their support for Israel in its ongoing conflict with Hamas, highlighting the importance of U.S. security assistance. In a series of meetings with the American Israel Public Affairs Committee (AIPAC), members of Congress from both parties discussed the significance of the U.S.-Israel relationship, particularly in the context of recent hostilities following the brutal Iran-backed Hamas attack on October 7. These discussions come in the wake of a brutal attack by Hamas on October 7, which has prompted a strong stance from the U.S. in favor of Israel's right to defend itself, including efforts to rescue hostages in Gaza and preventing a nuclear Iran. Lawmakers, including Rep. Newhouse, Sen. Joni Ernst, Rep. Maria Salazar, Rep. Young Kim, Pete Sessions, Rep. Steve Womack, Rep. Ashley Hinson, and Rep. Feenstra, have all voiced their commitment to supporting Israel against threats from Hamas and Iran, advocating for continued U.S. backing, the defense of Israel's sovereignty, and fighting the disgusting rise in anti-Semitism.
I always enjoy meeting with @AIPAC and appreciate their work to support and strengthen the relationship between the United States and Israel. I will continue to support the people of Israel in their fight to defend their country and defeat Hamas. #IA04 https://t.co/JHSzhZRolZ
I’m grateful for @AIPAC’s efforts to advocate for Israel & Jewish people around the globe in the wake of Hamas’ horrific terrorist attacks. We will continue working to bring every single hostage home & fight the disgusting rise in anti-Semitism. https://t.co/TwkRjijrFI
