Alabama leaders are responding to the recent violence in Israel. As tensions escalate, the Associated Press reported that Israel’s defense minister has approved the mobilization of 9,000 more reservist troops, and Israel’s military spokesman says forces are massing on the border with the Gaza Strip. Truce efforts by Egypt, Qatar, and the United Nations have shown no sign of progress. President Joe Biden called Israel’s Prime Minister Benjamin Netanyahu to support Israel’s right to defend itself, and Secretary of State Antony Blinken said he was sending a senior diplomat to the region. The United States is sending envoy, Hady Amr, deputy assistant secretary for Israel and Palestinian affairs, reported Reuters.
Rep. Mo Brooks commented on Twitter, “Unlike @SenSanders, @RepAOC, @Ilhan, and the rest of the Socialist Democrats who stand with Iranian-backed Hamas terrorists, I stand with Israel. Israel has a right to defend itself, and I condemn all those who persist in attacking America’s closest ally in the Middle East.”

Rep. Barry Moore stated on Twitter, “Through the Abraham Accords, Trump made historical steps towards peace in the Middle East. In comparison, Biden’s weakness is fueling violence, as Israel is under attack from Hamas terrorists. Now is the time for strong leadership, Mr. President. We must stand with Israel.”
