From Senate Majority Leader ChucK Schumer: The terrorist attacks by Hamas on the people of Israel are absolutely horrific. The U.S. stands with Israel in its unwavering right to defend itself. I stand ready to ensure Israel has the support to do so. My prayers are with the dead, reported hostages, and hundreds injured.
Today, U.S. Senator Kirsten Gillibrand issued the following statement regarding the unprovoked terrorist attack launched today by Hamas against Israel: “I strongly condemn the unprovoked terrorist attack launched today by Hamas against Israel, including against civilians. I am horrified by the onslaught of rocket fire and the infiltration of armed terrorists into Israeli neighborhoods and by reports of killings, injuries and kidnappings. I stand shoulder to shoulder with the Israeli people in this moment of tragedy. Throughout my career, I have worked with my colleagues to deliver hundreds of millions of dollars for Israel’s defensive systems and that work will be more critical than ever. The bond between our countries is unwavering and unbreakable and the U.S. stands ready and will remain in close contact with our Israeli partners.”
