• Risch’s statement on Foreign Relations Committee website: “Risch Statement on Terrorist Attacks Against Israel” BOISE, Idaho – U.S. Senator Jim Risch (R-Idaho), ranking member of the Senate Foreign Relations Committee, today released the following statement on the terrorist attacks against Israel:

“The thoughts and prayers of the American people are with our friend and partner Israel in the aftermath of an unprovoked attack at the hands of Palestinian terror groups. These attacks are a stark reminder that Israel faces enduring threats posed by Hamas, the Palestinian Islamic Jihad (PIJ), and Hezbollah, and are one reason why Israel continues to deserve the United States’ unwavering support.

“Israel has every right to respond to these attacks, and has the unequivocal support of the United States as it takes actions to prevent further violence. Any premature calls to curb Israel’s response before the threat is diminished are misguided and dangerous. We stand ready to provide support for our partner in its time of need.

“These attacks also underscore the dangers of a continued weak-kneed U.S. approach to Iran. Hamas, the PIJ, and Hezbollah rely on their Iranian patron to threaten Israel. This is the sort of outcome that is encouraged by the facilitation of the flow of cash to Iran as was recently done with $6 billion that was released by the Biden Administration. These attacks reinforce the need for a more aggressive U.S.-Iran policy that more effectively deprives the regime and its proxies of resources. Sanctions and sanctions enforcement – particularly Chinese purchases of Iranian oil – need vast improvement. The Biden Administration can and should do more.

“Finally, the Palestinian Authority’s (PA) response to these attacks has been notably muted. The PA should strongly condemn these attacks, urge calm, and demonstrate the leadership to prevent violence from spilling over into the West Bank. Otherwise, this will represent yet another missed opportunity for the PA to demonstrate leadership and discourage, rather than incentivize, violence.

“We stand shoulder to shoulder with our Israeli partners and offer condolences for the innocent lives lost.”

The United States and the civilized world must stand in solidarity as a fellow democracy defends its sovereignty and its citizens and must unequivocally condemn these vicious attacks against civilian populations. Terror on Israeli soil is only the sharpest edge of a concerted terrorist effort that threatens the United States, our partners in the Middle East, and free societies across the world. The terrorists responsible for this ongoing war against Israel were trained and equipped by Iran, the same terror state providing lethal drones to Russia to attack Ukraine. There must be consequences for those who conduct or support such terror. Failure to support friends under attack – in Kyiv or Tel Aviv – will only embolden the world’s largest state sponsor of terrorism and fellow authoritarians who watch closely for a weakening of American leadership and Western solidarity.”

• His full statement: U.S. Senator Kevin Cramer (R-ND), member of the Senate Armed Services Committee (SASC), released the following statement after the Palestinian militant group Hamas launched a deadly land, air, and sea attack against Israel.

“Today is a sad day, and I pray for all the victims of this unprovoked and senseless terrorist attack on Israel. I stand with our ally in the face of this naked aggression by Iran and its pawn, Hamas, and condemn these terrorist acts. The United States must unequivocally support Israel’s right to defend itself from brutal terrorists and those who support their immoral actions.

While Hamas and Iran own this evil, we must also recognize President Biden’s role and foreign policy these last three years where he coddled our enemies, punished our friends, and left the world second guessing our commitment. Why would Iran show restraint when this administration has ignored Iran’s targeting of American citizens as well as its nuclear growth and continued sponsorship of terror? This administration also accepted attacks in Syria, Iraq, UAE, and Saudi Arabia, ignored Iranian attacks on ships in the Arabian Gulf, ignored their supplying of weapons to Russia used to kill civilians in Ukraine, and rewarded Iran’s kidnapping of American citizens with a $6 billion ransom. Why would Hamas show restraint when the Biden administration has worked with the Taliban, drawn equivalency between the Iranian backed Houthi rebels and our ally Saudi Arabia, and stood by as terrorist actions occur daily against Israel?

“America’s strength and its role in the world matters, no matter what some on either side of the aisle may think. Terror, hate, and aggression do not stop unless confronted. Iran will not stop with the fall of Israel any more than Russia would with the fall of Ukraine. As the strongest nation in the world, we must wisely choose where our leadership is needed, whether through clear foreign policy or direct support.

“When the U.S. leaves a vacuum, the rest of the world fills the void. This is a moment when we need to be strong and clear in support of our friend and ally Israel, while diametrically opposing the terrorism of Iran and Hamas.”
