Israeli Prime Minister Addresses Congress

It was an honor to attend Israeli Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu's Joint Address to Congress. I will always support Israel's right to defend itself. 

Democrats, including Vice President Harris, did not attend Prime Minister Netanyahu’s speech while thousands of anti-Israel protesters descended on Washington, D.C. and burned an American flag just a few blocks from the U.S. Capitol. This act was disgraceful and disrespectful. The U.S. should not be pandering to terrorists or those who support them.

Israel is our only democratic ally in the Middle East and an important strategic partner for U.S. national security. We need to stand in solidarity with our Jewish friends and communities. Thank you to Brayden Byrne of Odessa, who is interning in Washington, D.C. for the Heritage Foundation, for giving our office a piece of the burned American flag at Union Station that he recovered.
