Gosar’s resolution H.RES.630, titled “Expressing support for Israel and its right to self-defense against the illegal nuclear program by the Islamic Republic of Iran” has been referred to the House Foreign Affairs Committee. “Today, as we celebrate the 64th anniversary of the independence of Israel, I wish to honor Israel and its people by reaffirming our nation’s support for their nation. Israel has been a staunch and loyal ally of the United States since Israel’s inception. It is in America’s best interests to support its allies, particularly when they are repeatedly threatened and attacked. Since the Iranian Revolution, Iran has been waging war against Israel with recurring attacks on innocent Israeli civilians, military forces and diplomatic personnel. Iran continues to thumb its nose at the rest of the world continuously ignoring nuclear sanctions and violating international law,” said Congressman Gosar. “This resolution assures the Israeli government and its people that the United States reaffirms Israel’s right to defend itself against Iranian aggression and threats. Should Israel feel it necessary to defend itself with a preemptive strike, the United States and its people supports Israel.” Congressman Gosar reaffirms America’s unambiguous commitment to the safety and security of our most loyal and steadfast ally—Israel. ### |
