In the wake of Iran’s recent attack on Israel, President Joe Biden convened a meeting with his National Security Council at the White House, emphasizing the United States’ unwavering commitment to Israel’s security.
Sharing a snapshot of the high-level gathering on social media, President Biden underscored the gravity of the situation, stating, “I just met with my national security team for an update on Iran’s attacks against Israel. Our commitment to Israel’s security against threats from Iran and its proxies is ironclad.”
Across the political spectrum, lawmakers from both parties echoed President Biden’s sentiments, emphasizing solidarity with Israel in the face of Iranian aggression.
Senate Majority Leader Chuck Schumer, a staunch supporter of Israel, reaffirmed the United States’ duty to stand by its ally, asserting, “Our shared enemies, including Iran and their proxies, need to know our commitment is unwavering.”
Meanwhile, Democratic Representative Debbie Wasserman-Shultz praised President Biden’s resolute stance against Iran’s belligerence, stating, “He’s shown his ironclad support for Israel and committed to defend its people from Iranian attacks.”
Michigan Democrat Rep. Haley Stevens expressed solidarity with Israel, emphasizing President Biden’s unwavering commitment to the nation’s security. “President Biden has made clear our steadfast commitment to stand by the Israeli people in their hour of need,” she remarked.
Similarly, Senator Jacky Rosen reiterated America’s steadfast support for Israel, vowing to ensure the nation receives the necessary assistance to protect itself against Iranian aggression.
New York Democrat Rep. Ritchie Torres condemned Iran’s destabilizing actions in the region, asserting the need for accountability. “Iran is the single most destabilizing force in the Middle East,” he stated, calling for measures to hold Iran accountable for its aggression.
Democratic Representative Lois Frankel emphasized the enduring strength of the U.S.-Israel relationship, advocating for swift action to provide additional security assistance to Israel.
However, Republican Representative Brian Mast criticized President Biden’s handling of the situation, blaming his perceived lack of leadership for the escalation. “Iran just launched drone strikes at innocent Israeli civilians. This is a direct result of Joe Biden’s lack of leadership,” Mast asserted, urging the White House to stand resolutely with Israel.
