White Sulphur Springs, WV – House Republican Conference Chairwoman Elise Stefanik released the following statement following Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer’s comments calling for new elections in Israel.
“October 7th was the deadliest day in history for the Jewish people since the Holocaust. Today House Republicans hosted Ambassador Herzog at our House Republican Issues Conference to give an update on the war effort to destroy Hamas, highlight that hostages are still being held in Gaza, and make the case for much needed military aid currently being held up by Democrats led by Joe Biden and Chuck Schumer.
Israel is not only fighting for its right to exist, it’s fighting for the rights of Jewish people everywhere.
Instead of meddling in Israeli sovereign elections,Chuck Schumer should follow House Republicans’ lead in supporting our most precious ally in their darkest hour.
Chuck Schumer’s disgusting comments undermine Israel, are a boon to the Iranian regime, and is nothing short of turning our backs on Israel. House Republicans will continue to stand strongly with our most precious ally Israel.”
