Congressman Ivey's Statement on Hamas Attacks on Israel

Today’s horrific attack by Hamas against Israel is an act of terrorism against civilians, military personnel, and an ally of the United States. I condemn in no uncertain terms the violence visited upon the people of Israel from Gaza in the form of rocket attacks, infiltrations and hostage taking. There is no justification for terrorism. The United States will assist its ally in its time of need, and I urge my Congressional colleagues to back the diplomatic, military and intelligence support that President Biden and the American people will offer to our partners in the Middle East. We send our condolences to the families of those killed and our prayers for the many wounded in this awful attack. I know with the support of the United States, its allies and friends across the globe, Israel will defend itself and its people.
