The situation in Israel has grown even more tense over the past 24 hours.
4.5 million Israelis are now threatened
by Hamas rockets as the terrorist group launched a rocket that hit
metropolitan Tel Aviv. More than 275 rockets have been fired by Hamas
since yesterday morning – all of them targeting civilian populations,
homes and communities.
Your commitment to AIPAC helps ensure that when Israel needs to take
defensive action, it can count on American support. And the United
States Senate made that abundantly clear today.This morning, Senators Kirsten Gillibrand (D-NY) and Mark Kirk (R-IL) circulated a resolution to their colleagues that expressed the Senate’s “unwavering commitment to the security of the State of Israel,” and reiterates its call that Hamas must “end Gaza-linked rocket and missile attacks against Israel, recognize Israel’s right to exist, renounce violence, and agree to accept previous agreements between Israel and the Palestinians.”
By this evening,
64 Senators co-sponsored the bipartisan resolution and it passed the Senate
by unanimous consent. We thank them for their support and the speed with
which they delivered a powerful message that the United States stands
with Israel.
