"We all agree that we need to make sure that Israel, our greatest ally, has the support it needs to defend itself against the threats posed by both Hamas and other terrorist organizations. I'm also concerned about the threat Hezbollah continues to pose against Israel's security. We all know, and we're hearing from all of you, that much of their support comes from Iran's state sponsorship of terrorism I also recognize that Hezbollah and Hamas still receive funding from private donations and organized crime syndicates across the globe.
How is the administration working with our European allies to really crack down on the illicit funding of terrorist organizations like Hamas, like Hezbollah and what more should we be doing."
