Washington, D.C. – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement condemning Joe Biden’s abandonment of United States ally Israel just six months following the brutal Hamas terrorist attack. 

“It has been six months since Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists invaded Israel and brutally murdered, raped, tortured, and kidnapped over a thousand innocent Israeli civilians. Since that day, Israel has been fighting for its right to exist against barbaric Hamas terrorists in Gaza.

“It is unacceptable that instead of showing resolute support for our greatest ally, Joe Biden has chosen to abandon Israel and embrace Hamas terrorists as he desperately tries to appeal to the antisemitic Far Left. There are still over 100 innocent civilians, including Americans, being held by Hamas and we should be doing everything in our power to bring them home. Instead, Joe Biden’s strategy of appeasement continues to embolden our adversaries and abandon Americans and our great ally Israel.”
