U.S. Senator John Cornyn (R-TX) has called for the United States to provide assistance to Israel in the wake of Hamas' recent attacks. Speaking on the Senate floor, Sen. Cornyn condemned the actions of Hamas, stating, "There’s no excusing, no equivocating, no explaining the actions of Hamas. It’s not trying to protect the Palestinian people or promote freedom. Hamas’ singular goal is to annihilate the Jewish people and wipe Israel off the map."
Sen. Cornyn highlighted the widespread support for Israel, stating that it "transcends party lines, religion, race, and ethnicity." He emphasized that the support for Israel is not limited to rhetoric, but includes tangible assistance. "If Israel needs weapons, the United States will provide them. If Israel needs support gathering or analyzing intelligence, the United States will provide it. If Israel needs help with humanitarian assistance, medical supplies – whatever they need – the United States and the people of this great country will answer the call."
The senator stressed the importance of a strong and secure Israel in the pursuit of peace and stability in the Middle East. He stated, "We all hope and pray for a day in the future when the Middle East can be a place of peace, stability, and democracy. We simply will not reach that point without a strong and secure Israel."
Sen. Cornyn concluded his remarks by reaffirming his unwavering support for Israel, pledging to advocate for any form of assistance it may require. "I stand in full support of Israel and will continue to advocate for any form of assistance she needs, whether it’s military, humanitarian, or otherwise. We must stand with Israel."
With tensions escalating in the region, it is crucial for the international community to come together in support of Israel's security and well-being. The United States, as a longstanding ally of Israel, has a vital role to play in ensuring its protection.
