Condemning Iran's Unprecedented Drone and Missile Attack on Israel

Floor Speech

BREAK IN TRANSCRIPT

Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I reserve the balance of my time.

Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I again urge my colleagues to join me in sending a strong, bipartisan message, an overwhelming support for the State of Israel by agreeing to this resolution. Our allies and our partners are closely watching this body's actions, and we must send a clear message that we stand by our allies and our partners and are resolved against our adversaries and those who wish to do all of us harm. I urge the adoption of this resolution.

Madam Speaker, I yield 1 minute to the gentleman from Louisiana (Mr. Scalise), the majority leader. He is a strong supporter of the State of Israel. Time and again, he has led this floor in the support of one of our strongest allies in the world.

Ms. DEAN of Pennsylvania. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close.

I stand by Israel and its right to defend itself and condemn in the strongest of terms Iran's direct attack on our ally. It is my hope that Israel listens to what many of its allies are saying and not take steps that lead us into a greater regional war.

As President Biden has said, our defense against Iranian threats to Israel is ironclad. We have Israel's back, and we will not yield to Iranian threats.

Madam Speaker, I support this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time.

Mr. KEAN of New Jersey. Madam Speaker, I yield myself the balance of my time to close. I urge the adoption of this resolution, and I yield back the balance of my time.
