WASHINGTON, D.C. – Congressman Carlos A. Gimenez (FL-26) introduced a House resolution condemning the terrorist attacks by Hamas against the State of Israel and to reaffirm congressional support for the U.S.-Israel alliance. At the time of introduction, 62 Members of Congress signed onto the resolution.

“I strongly condemn the terrorist acts conducted by Hamas against the State of Israel. These horrific scenes coming out of Jerusalem depict countless rockets being launched from Gaza with the intent to massacre innocent civilians. We are reminded of why the United States must continue being an ally of Israel and why our commitment to Israel’s sovereignty and independence is so crucial at a time of heightened regional hostility,” Gimenez said after the resolution’s introduction.

“Each Member of Congress now has a decision to make. Either you stand with Israel and the Jewish people or you stand with the Hamas terrorists. Every Member should go on record regarding their position. I thank my colleagues who have stood up and declared their support of our Israeli partners by signing this resolution.”
